A Little Tired
Whilst the cottage is very pleasant and for the most part comfortable, it is in need of a little TLC.
The use of cream carpet on the stairs and throughout the upstairs seems a bit silly in a rental property as it was really quite grubby and stained throughout.
The decor needs rejuvenating along with some attention to the smaller problems ie: there is no plug in the kitchen sink (this was mentioned in a previous visitor’s feedback). Furthermore, there was no bowl either - they don’t cost much, please provide one or the other. There must be something about plugs in this cottage: the one in the bathroom basin doesn’t work (not sealing) and to boot, the bath plug doesn’t seal either!! Three quick repairs/provides could solve these issues and stop some negative feedback.
Unfortunately on our last evening in the cottage there was a lot of heavy rain, this resulted in the kitchen ceiling (flat roof extension) leaking water through two light fittings. There was water everywhere which we spent some time mopping up to prevent us slipping but unfortunately again, there was no bowl or bucket to place below the leaks. We ended up using an ice cooler bucket to catch the worst of the leaks. Of course, we couldn’t therefore use the kitchen lights that evening.
I did try to ring the emergency help line without success but managed to contact them via email and they advised they would get someone to look at the following day.
All in all a disappointing end to our weekend but not spoiled altogether. Just perhaps, give this tired little cottage so deserved attention - the minor details really help.
