    “The location of the property is excellent for accessing Orford by foot.”

    Plenty of pleasant walks from the cottage, excellent for dogs. We only used our car twice during our week stay. The cottage is well equipped with all the essentials required for self catering. Some of the chords on window blinds were broken. The rear garden appears neglected and scruffy, it is enclosed and safe for our dogs. The information file at the house describes a welcome pack for visitors that was not provided, there was a bottle of wine which was most welcome.

    We are glad you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Orford and found the cottage well equipped, and that the garden was enclosed and safe for your dogs. Wine and biscuits are always left for our guests, welcome pack may be standard wording from Sykes which can mean different things. The wonderful village shop is open almost every day of the year and stocks really most things. We do encourage our guests to support the community by purchasing the locally produced goods. There is also a lovely market on Saturday mornings, we thoroughly recommend the fresh eggs, ginger flapjacks and prepared meals such as delicious fish pie, as well as just picked vegetables and salad (seasonal). The jam is delicious too and there also lovely non perishables to see. The blinds were working perfectly a few weeks ago however we can check them again, thank you for bringing them to our attention. Our gardener comes fortnightly to trim the shrubs skilfully and he always mows the lawn very professionally. The lawn was freshly laid last year, we have also put in a fence and gate to ensure a safe environment for dogs and children in the garden. We installed new patio paving for the Village Hall only last year and pale green table and garden chairs are provided. Whilst the lawn was beautiful earlier in the year, the hot weather has made it a bit patchy. We watered it whilst there but of course do not expect our guests to do the same. We are sure however it will recover with wetter weather and our gardener’s attentive care. We are so glad that your dogs enjoyed it so much. We are sure Orford will welcome you again in the future. Cornwall is also lovely. Property Owner
