“Jenny’s cottage is in the most beautiful location.”

The views from all windows are to die for. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage was generally well equipped. We had everything we needed for our holiday, plenty of hot water and the shower over the bath was not too bad.

The views from all windows are to die for. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage was generally well equipped. We had everything we needed for our holiday, plenty of hot water and the shower over the bath was not too bad. Parking is right outside and there are any number of walks in any direction from the doorstep. A few little niggles just took the edge off and this was regarding the wood burner which was so heavily sooted up on the doors that you literally couldn’t see the flames! I tried cleaning it which helped a bit, but not much but regular cleaning would have sorted this. The downstairs bathroom proved to be a pain, despite us knowing about this beforehand. Lastly the cobwebs need dealing with, there are a lot! However if you want character, idyllic location and a genuine 400 year old cottage you will love this place.

“It was dirty.”

Had to wash everything up and clean fridge before use. Cups etc stuck to shelves. Hair in cups. Cobwebs everywhere. Litter under bed. Nothing to clean with apart from washing up liquid. This is bad anyway, let alone under pandemic circumstances. Made owner aware by email, privately as didn't want to leave a review. She apologised then I asked for local info as there wasn't anything offered previously. She ignored this. We met her as we were leaving and she shouted and was very aggressive about us complaining. Very nasty unreasonable woman. Said she didn't believe me (after apologising via email) I asked her name as she hadn't introduced herself, said she was the owner, asked if we were ok and had enjoyed our stay, nothing, just attacked us. She didn't stop so we just drove off. She spoilt the last day of our holiday as we were so shook up by her abuse. She shouldn't be running a holiday home if she can't keep it clean (and safe during pandemic circumstances) or accept feedback when things aren't good enough.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to many other positive reviews we’ve received for the property. As you’ll see to date, comments on the property, cleanliness and the owners have been complimentary so far and yours is the first which isn’t so. We’ve spoken to the owners who dispute your statement on cleanliness and feel these comments are unfair and unjustified. Their cleaner attended the property and spent many hours preparing the property for your arrival in the usual way. We are sorry that you had a disagreement with the owner upon your departure, we understand that you had overstayed on the final morning and the owner was merely anxious to begin preparing the cottage for the next set of guests. The owners take their letting of Jenny’s Cottage very seriously and they pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences – this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.
