    “We loved the cottage and the location was perfect BUT the cottage suffers from a serious damp issue (highlighted by a previous review in June).”

    The kitchen cupboards smelt damp and musty and we had to move all the plates and dishes and wash them before use and then leave them out which cluttered the small kitchen. Also we came down every morning to find snail/slug trails all over the floor and worktops so again a clean up was required before we could start our day.

    The kitchen cupboards smelt damp and musty and we had to move all the plates and dishes and wash them before use and then leave them out which cluttered the small kitchen. Also we came down every morning to find snail/slug trails all over the floor and worktops so again a clean up was required before we could start our day. Another issue we had was whilst we were out on the Tuesday the owner took it upon herself to go into the property without informing us first to put the rubbish bins out for the following day, we were going to do this as per instructions. Apart from the above issues we would have been happy to book this cottage again in the future.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we are pleased to hear you loved the cottage. We have investigated further and can confirm, we have not found any evidence of damp in the kitchen. Apologies for not advising you beforehand about the bin removal, as we thought it helpful to take out the bins as the dustmen usually arrive very early in the morning the next day, and the big bin has to be put in a bit of a strange place. In the future we will leave this for our guests to manage. We look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner
