Luxury Cottage Dog friendly with Hot Tub

Location Quirkiness

Cobwebs down side of bed could be a little more attention to cleanliness Milk on arrival would be good for people arriving after very long journeys

It was cosy, well maintained just felt right at home in quality surroundings ! Whole house beautifully decorated

Nothing

Arrival and departure instructions were clear and fuss-free. In terms of facilities, the cottage had what we needed for a nice, family stay. Very quiet village so no interruptions or bother during our visit. The complimentary Prosecco was a lovely surprise after a long journey and heating extremely efficient throughout the property.

The only slight difficulty was the lack of hand towels in the bathrooms and kitchen. There were towels left on the beds, which was brilliant along with towels for the hot tub; however, no hand towels in the downstairs loo or kitchen and no tea towel for the kitchen to dry up dishes. Also, there was no washing up cloth for wiping down surfaces, etc. We visited Tesco on our second day and bought some to use during our stay. We are a very respectful family and just wanted a few nights away from our normal home-life to relax and unwind so the hot tub was an added bonus. We stuck strictly to the rules and never used it after 9pm; however, the neighbours were loudly heard making unfortunate comments about the type of people who use hot tubs. We can assure the owners that we were quiet and respectful. It didn't spoil our stay, just made us feel unwelcome in the garden.

It was quiet.

I was visiting last minute following emergency eye surgery with a friend. I could not locate the guide book continuously referred to. For me the house was cold and only on the last day after I left was I advised that the rads were off! The shower was unreliable. The house is tired and in places very dusty. I was so looking forward to the break and I was really disappointed!
