“Wonderful location and should have been a peaceful week.”
Unfortunately the cottage had a significant problem with the plumbing causing ‘water hammer’. This meant that when either toilet was flushed and the bath and shower used, there was a loud and constant noise throughout the cottage from the kitchen taps which could only be remedied by fiddling with the taps. This was very inconvenient during the day. At night we adopted a ‘no flush’ policy, which was really not ideal as we were sharing with friends. Even then, on two nights the water hammer started seemingly spontaneously. On one of the nights it happened five times, meaning a very disturbed night up and down stairs to kitchen to get rid of noise.
Rosemary was aware of the problem and had had a plumber in before our occupation to try to remedy the problem to no avail.
We do feel that some recompense for this exceptional inconvenience should be forthcoming.
This was an isolated problem which unfortunately did affect Susan Twort’s stay. The water hammer was subsequently diagnosed as a faulty cartridge in the kitchen tap and has now been fixed.
