The cottage and garden were much smaller than it looked in the photos. The bath was half size and this was never mentioned.The whole cleanliness was not to a high standard. There were many cobwebs, the paintwork was marked and chipped and the windows were grubby. There were numerous flies in bathrooms. There were lovely pictures everywhere and niknaks. It may have been nice to know their history/origin. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with cooking equipment. We lacked any welcome pack/information regarding how to work the washer/dryer, tv, heaters, underfloor heating. How to organise rubbish/recycling and when to put it out for collectiion. The garden was peaceful and pretty but it was 3 days before i found the washing line but the hole for it was in the grass and a danger re tripping or catching your foot. On inspection the wood burner had a large crack down the back and had some heavy bricks in which we thought showed it shouldnt be used, but there was no warning on it to say not to use.The mirror in the ensuite bathroom is high, at about 6 ft, and there was no alternative mirror in that bedroom. There was nowhere to put a cup of tea or glass of drink when sitting in the living room, apart from on the floor, which is not ideal.On arrival the water was lukewarm. We addressed this with the host, who turned out to be a cottage management company and this was resolved some 48hours after.The cottage could be so much better with just a little care and attention.
