Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Lovely, clean but just a few niggles.....
The plus side:
Nice clean cottage, welcome basket with fresh bread, haribo sweets, wine.
Flowers on table, tea, coffee, sugar and even treats for the dog.
Sky/netflix.
Bed very comfy.
Nice white towels.
Good communication from owner.
2 local pubs- the Nelson ...no food gd beer. Rising sun, pub grub. Both friendly pubs.
negative side:
Right on a very busy,noisy road. We could not work out why so many lorries etc cut through there. We did sort of get used to the noise except early mornings. Nothing owners can do about that,but if you are not used to traffic, it may affect your experience.
The parking is on the busy and in places very narrow road and is 1st come 1st served. We found we had to, and was probaby best, to park up the road where wider
Washing machine had sign on it saying "not working, sorry". We didnt know how long broken but no attempt to fix while we were there 7 nights. A wet week meant lots of washing.
With all the lovely welcome gifts, there was zero (as in none at all) toilet paper ...fortunately we are regular boy scouts and came prepared. Maybe an oversight? But with the fact that they left a solitary dishwasher tablet in a pot....not sure was an oversight. They ask you to run the dishwasher as you leave so you will need to take some tablets with you to use during the week.
No ironing board (was an iron and ironing board cover, however).
No hoover, mop.....used a dustpan and brush to sweep floors each day. And no toilet brush!
