“The cottage is very well equipped however, there are some areas do need improvement: the chairs in the sitting room are very warn, uncomfortable and too low.”
The kitchen chairs are also extremely uncomfortable with very sharp edges.
We had a serious problem with the shower control upstairs. It is so stiff that when we turned it on we could only got boiling hot water. It was impossible to achieve any cold water mix.
We called the maintenance people out who effectively jammed it into a middle position, but the whole unit needs replacing.
The location of the cottage is ideal.
We thought the instructions that we had to strip all of our own beds, which we did, was perhaps a little bit beyond the expectations of an elderly couple who have already paid nearly ÂŁ900 for a week.
We did follow all of the instructions, including putting the bins out on Sunday night. I noticed that nobody had done this before as the main refuse bin was completely stuffed with multiple old rubbish bags. I don’t know whether you expected your cleaner to be dealing with this, but clearly Nobody was putting the bins out.
Perhaps some of our criticisms are linked with our age, the extremely low chairs are very difficult to get out of for someone with back issues or one who’s had joint replacement, but I don’t think anyone other than Hercules would be able to adjust the frozen shower control upstairs!
The beds were okay, but seem to have some ridges in the middle.
Most of the pillows were far too firm. Luckily we brought our own pillows.
