The cottage was lovely, so clean and welcoming. Easy to get into - given we arrived very late. We had a 1 year and 3 year old - it was lovely that Marie provided a high chair and travel cot - making our luggage a lot less. Also the provision of children's books was fab. The TV had all the usual apps that we could also sign into via our accounts. All in all a very good stay.

The cleanliness wasn’t up to standard, the bedding wasn’t ironed and looked like it wasn’t fresh, tea towels dirty, dust in most corners, bedroom wardrobe was full of bedding that wasn’t ironed, and just looked like it had been thrown in, ( pictures can be provided) all pans needed washing thoroughly before use as they were greasy, the shower room and toilet that is located in the dining room and separated by a sliding door that didn’t close properly and didn’t lock we thought was not a very hygienic and embarrassing to use. There is a cupboard in the lounge that housed the hoover and other cleaning bits had pillows and towels strewn on the floor.The cottage was in a beautiful location with fantastic views, but was seriously let down by the overall cleanliness.

Hi Sue, I’m sorry to hear that the cottage did not meet your expectations during your stay. I take cleanliness very seriously and the property is professionally cleaned and prepared after every guest departure. I have shared your feedback with our cleaning team as part of our continuous efforts to maintain the high standards our guests expect. I would like to address a couple of points for any other guests - the bedroom wardrobe you mentioned is the linen cupboard where all our linen is kept, the other wardrobe in the attic room is free for our guests to use. The cupboard in the lounge is the under stairs cupboard and again it does house some spare cushions for the sofas/linen etc, that again should not impact our guests. Thanks Marie
