Clear and specific directions for finding the cottage without a sat.nav. A warning that the off-road parking is very awkward, only suitable for a small car, that the washing line should not be up when accessing the space, and there is a drop to one corner at the back of the space. A warning about the stone slab in front of the front door - which is not obvious in the dark and rain. Advice to leave a light on when returning after dark, as the hall light switch is behind the front door. Including the wifi code in the guest handbook - to save upending and reading the router. A hook in the bathroom for robes, etc. A bath mat and a bath safety mat. Somewhere to hang wet towels in the bedrooms. All the towels are white and we did not want to share one anotherâs by leaving them in the bathroom. A set of dessert sized bowls - all the existing bowls are enormous. There are plenty of mugs, but cups and saucers.would have been welcome. Place mats to protect the good table under the wipeable cover. Actual problems. The conservatory roof is leaking and there were puddles on the floor when we arrived, The outside light was not working. Several double-glazed windows are blown: two in the twin room, one in the bathroom and some in the conservatory roof. The large green recycling bin was already absolutely full when we arrived. The bathroom soap container was empty. Iâm sorry to be so critical, but with a little more attention to maintenance and a relatively modest outlay on a few extras, this property could be so much better.

The building needs some tlc and a very deep clean. I don't expect to have to clean a bathroom wipe down furniture and hoover when I arrive. Garden is tiny full of weeds and furniture is broken or rusty . Conservatory smells fusty and was covered in dead bugs and cobwebs. We will not be back
