A Tale of Two Emotions
The Farm Cottage is without question a beautiful place to stay. The decor, utensils and appliances have been well thought through. The place was clean and met most of our requirements. On asking for an iron and ironing board it was brought the following morning as arranged. The provision of eggs and milk was a lovely touch. Parking was provided and entering the property easy - due to network connections I would suggest printing off the information prior to arriving.
There were a few elements which would improve this lovely cottage and suggestions have been sent to the owner.
However, our stay was marred by the presentation of flies. It was a bit surprising what with it being November. Initially, we just put it down to being on a working farm. Sadly, that was not the case, as soon as we opened the window the cottage was inundated with them. In our opinion, this highlighted an infestation of flies within the frames themselves. We seemed to spend half of our time in the cottage killing flies. Even with the window shut they still got in and not one night passed without us having to get up and go fly chasing/killing. Obviously not the relaxing weekend we had planned as well as being pretty gross.
The issue has been raised with the owner, who I am sure is addressing it. That said, as no response has been received, I can't confirm that.
