Acogedora casa con techo de paja a pocos minutos del mar, enclavado en un paisaje rural apacible

Dear Elaine, we hope you enjoyed your stay at Snail's Place despite the issues you raised. My wife and I usually pop down to Dorset before the start of the season, and one of the jobs we usually do is the go through all the information sheets and clear out anything which is out of date or no longer relevant. Unfortunately we couldn't make it this year as we have been busy in Italy upgrading our rental property here in Le Marche, Italy - which is also listed on VRBO -property number 8145872 (if you can find it!). We are sorry you took issue with dealing with the rubbish and with stripping the bed linen, but I am afraid we are simply following Covid protocol, and will continue to do so until the Government advise differently. We hope these chores did not spoil your stay too much, and that you might visit Snail's Place again some time in the future. Tim and De Simmons.

We’re sorry to hear that David felt let down by the heating at Snail’s Place during his recent visit. We do our best to keep our guests cosy during the winter months. The cottage has two storage heaters installed, which are powered by an off-peak electricity supply, which comes on around midnight and goes off about 08.00. The heaters then discharge a gentle background heat during the day. In addition, there are convector heaters in both bedrooms, and a wall mounted radiant heater in the bathroom. Fan heaters are available for use in the living room, not to mention the supply of logs for an open fire in the inglenook. Much as we would wish to have standard 3ft beds and mattresses in the small twin-bedded room, there simply isn’t enough space, so we had to compromise with slightly less wide 2ft 6in beds and mattresses.
