8/10 Bra
3 apr. 2025
The cottage is tired and short on the charm which could so easily be edited in.
This is the second year we have stayed at Cley Corner Cottage. Many aspects of it are ideal, in particular the location, but we were a bit disconcerted to find no updates since last year.
The broken shelf in the fridge door and the shortage of food storage space in the kitchen had an impact because we prefer to eat in rather than out in the evenings. The fridge was packed to capacity and other food supplies were stored on the window sill and in the shopping bags.
Additionally, many of the frying pans do not have flat bottoms which makes their use on the ceramic hob very difficult. Most of them should be replaced.
The welcome supplies were appreciated and it felt as though the property was well prepared before our arrival but we would have liked a strainer for rice, and the cheese grater we eventually found inside a saucepan near the end of our stay. Even four large matching mugs rather than just three would have made a significant difference.
And perhaps some matching wine glasses rather than a collection of assorted styles.
Perhaps there is a reason that the pictures upstairs are still not hung?
The very stained blanket we used on the bed when the nights were cold added to the list of ‘unsatisfactory’.
Our last two days were sunny and we would have liked garden chairs in the back garden rather than carrying through the kitchen chairs to sit in the afternoon sun.
Each of these things listed would have had a very small impact on our holiday but to be honest, cumulatively they did. When renting Cley Corner cottage we felt its intrinsic charm was compromised, even though the location scored high.
It would definitely be worth reviewing the kitchen because this cottage is potentially just perfect.
We had a week of amazing birdwatching and enjoyed discovering several new excursions but perhaps we will find another cottage for 2026.
