“Fine for a few days.”
This is a charming cottage, with an honest and accurate listing, not pretending to be more than basic. It's not overly refurbished and blessedly free of seaside tat. Important things are good and work well: comfortable beds, good bath & shower, heating, wifi, TV. But beyond the basics, the cottage was not comfortable enough for a stay longer than a few days. Hooks on backs of doors are not the best place to hang towels, a few more lamps would be helpful for reading, a few decent hangers would be good, and a small carton of milk in the fridge would have been very welcome. Although we received a friendly and helpful email ahead of our stay from the cottage owners, we did not meet them while we were there.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We did come down several times once we returned to the village, but did not find you in. Hopefully you were enjoying yourselves elsewhere.
Very pleased that you found everything working well, with comfortable beds etc.
The reason we don't leave milk or provisions any more is that so many of our guests don't drink cows milk, or indeed any kind of milk and told us that the gesture was kind, but not needed.
We would suggest that the towel rail is the place for towels, though of course guests can use door hooks as well.
We'll check the clothes hangers as we have always provided plenty of them, so this is rather a mystery.
Teign Cottage is over 400 years old and we have furnished it in a style that we think is both comfortable and in keeping with its age.
Best wishes
