Lovely cottage in a very good location. Well equipped kitchen, which makes a difference from many other properties we've stayed at over the years. The whole cottage felt light and airy, especially the large kitchen/dining area.
A few niggles, which you will get no matter how good the property. Agree with other previous guests - why have the microwave in a top cupboard?? This really needs to be safe and accessible on a worktop. Front door lock could be fiddly, at one point we thought we were locked in! Key safe doesn't work well, took me at least 6 attempts to get it to close properly. And another problem encountered by previous guests, the Sky box control didn't work. We found another handset in a drawer in the kitchen which did work, but needed to have the doors on the tv unit open otherwise the Sky box did not respond. More instructions on which handset to use when would have been useful - tv handset had to be used for volume control, we had problems originally trying to work out how to change channels, as used wrong handset and couldn't find how to get back from scrambled signal.
We were very lucky however, as we stayed the week before the lockdown due to coronavirus! We were still able to visit the narrow gauge railway in Wells, and a final pint in the local pub, the Dun Cow, on the day before all pubs and restaurants etc were closed. Good luck to those in the Salthouse Store, delivering to vulnerable people in the area and other local businesses who are helping out in the community to keep it going.
