“Let me start by saying this cottage is in a lovely location and with a bit of love could be spectacular.”
However, on arrival we had to pick up 4 dog poos from the gardens, as dog owners we understand that is the guest's responsibility, but it should have been double-checked by the caretaker, as we shouldn't have to clean-up after a previous guest. Cottage needed alot of TLC with worn furniture and peeling paint, but we could've overlooked it if the cottage had been cleaner, there was dust, cobwebs, dead spiders and just an overall feeling of grime, dirty cutlery and plates. The main bedroom hadn't been made up, so we slept in the 2nd bedroom which was not really big enough for a double bed. The cupboards and drawers also seemed dirty and smelly, so we just lived out of our suitcase. There wasn't any hand towels or washing up liquid, things you would expect as standard. Check-in time was earlier then most cottages we've been to and because of that I feel like the cleaning and checking process may be rushed, we feel like those extra couple of hours could be used for a more thorough clean and check.
I know this review makes me sound like one of those people, but I have never had to leave a review like this before.
