What our customers say about their holidays
Richard - Verified booking
Scandale Bridge Cottage - Overpriced I wanted to take my Son on holiday to the Lake District and Scandale Bridge Cottage looked like the perfect base, great location and safe, exclusive, off-road parking for my car.
We paid £697 for 4 nights for 2 people. We needed to turn on the heating and this was straightforward, just turn the thermostat. We didnât need access to the boiler controls as a previous guest had to. There was clean bedding and towels. The WiFi works well and reaches bedrooms. The TV is a little dated but we were able to connect a phone via HDMI which was good. But here is the down side. First impression, thereâs no hand soap for the hand basins. I know a minority of guests will take away items from a holiday stay, but that shouldnât discourage the owners from providing a few essentials. During the week we found other things lacking: No tea towel No dishcloths No washing up liquid No cleaning products (Youâre meant to leave the cottage clean on departure, which we managed to do in spite of this, apart from the fridge which was long overdue for a proper clean around the vents - see photos). We didnât use the oven or hob and only a few items of crockery and glassware, the rest remained unused though some of those were a little grubby. There was one dishwasher tablet and one water blown tablet, maybe left by a previous guest? - see photo. I have stayed in some places where there are complementary toiletries and at the very least, some soap for the hand basins, some go as far as to provide a bottle of wine, chocolates or a mini hamper. I donât expect any of these but the basics would be nice. Looking at the reviews on the website, back in August 2023, Gavin reported a blind was broken and inoperative, we found the same blind still with no chain or cords - see photos. The ensuite bedroom door doesnât close and it is presumably a fire door as there is an automatic closer and a fire action notice attached (see photo). The ensuite bathroom door doesnât fit well either but can close with a heave. The clocks didnât work (no big deal). When we started encountering problems, I read back through other reviews and noted the response of the owners. The responses seem to be quite dismissive so I may be wasting my time giving further feedback, which is intended to be constructive and helpful. Standard excuse seems to be âif you had phonedâ¦â, well no, guests should not have to disrupt their holiday to report maintenance issues that have previously been ignored. Response to âMâ from July 2023 âyou should have reported it via the telephone number in the information file in the Cottageâ and âcannot understand why you would give a 50 % rating based on the two adverse points you have erroneously raisedâ Guest Nigel in January 2023 reported some issues which have since been fixed, thankfully. He said âOnly 5 plates in house for 8 peopleâ, to which the response was âWe do not advertise the house to sleep 8 guests hence we provide the necessary amount of utensils and crockery for the number of guests the house is advertised to provide forâ The cottage is advertised for 6 guests so should one go hungry or wait for 2nd sitting? Iâd love to know Nigel! The availability of utensils was fine but the quality and cleanliness, less so. We had no such problem as there was plenty of crockery, but we chose to eat out. Nigel also said âBath / sink leaked through to the loungeâ. More on this later. The ensuite shower is badly designed. Granted thereâs not much that can be done about this other than replacing the shower tray. The problem is that the rim of the shower tray is flat, so any water running down the walls of the cubicle then run along the top of the rim and out onto the floor. I found a way around this is to direct the monsoon shower head to the opposite corner and lay a piece of toilet paper across the rim of the shower tray to direct the run-off into the tray. There was nevertheless a lot of condensation on the walls outside the cubicle as the extractor fan is inadequate and the ensuite is not heated. The ensuite is not heated as the small towel rail doesnât work, itâs currently switched off, but if you try to open the valves to turn it on, one of them leaks (see photo). There is nowhere to put toiletries in the ensuite shower cubicle, a small shelf and/or soapdish would be good. Our biggest concern was the leaks, one from the main bathroom down to the lounge. Itâs obviously a long-standing issue as it was reported by Nigel in January 2023. You can see the damage to the ceiling and you can see the attempt to paint over that damage as thereâs a subtle difference in the shade of white (you may be able to pick it up from some of the photos). When we noticed we also looked under the ensuite and there was a leak there too (See photos and video). Neither leak produced torrents (yet) and we placed containers under to catch the water, reported it to maintenance and decided not to use the bathrooms for shower or bath after that. The response to Nigel in January 2023 was âOccasionally, leaks happenâ. This is true, but as a property owner, Iâd be scared the ceiling might come down and Iâd make sure that the leak is fixed, not painted over. We did not call out maintenance until the last night because: I found workarounds for most of the problems and had taken everything but the kitchen sink (and cleaning materials) to the cottage. We only discovered the leaks from upstairs to downstairs late in our stay. By the way the one from the bathroom is only when the tub is draining so it is likely to be a leak in the waste pipes. The reason I donât hold out much hope that this constructive feedback will be listened to, or acted on is that some of the issues reported previously are still unresolved and the parting shot to Nigel was âWe ⦠sincerely hope that you find a cottage more to your liking and requirements, for your next trip away togetherâ. Which is easily interpreted as âgo stay somewhere elseâ. My Son and I certainly will and if you're looking for holiday accommodation, maybe you will too? The constructive criticism from others was somewhat rudely dismissed, so I expect the same for my review. The review mechanism doesnât allow guests to reply to ownersâ feedback, so I wonât be able to contest any owner responses or rudeness either.

First of all the apartment is just like the pictures I saw here on Airbnb, very stylish furnished and chic. Unfortunately, there are a few things I have to criticize. Overall the apartment is just not really clean and rather dirty. 1. On our arrival we had to start the dishwasher, because the cutlery and the tableware were really dirty and filthy. 2. Where there is no carpet in the apartment, the floors are sticky and were obviously not properly cleaned. 3. The dining table and the small table in the living room were, as well as the kitchen worktop, not properly cleaned. There are still the stains of the previous visitors visible. 4. Some of the provided towels also had visible stains on them and locked used. 5. The downstairs bedroom had a staple sticking out of the bed near the floor and one of us hurt themself there. 6. The front door was very hard to open. Later we noticed that the door was kinda warped and was not properly fitting in the door frame anymore. So opening and closing the door was quite the difficult task to accompish, it needs to be repaired. To sum it up, I'm quite dissatisfied with the apartment, as I was expecting it to be clean. I was not expecting to have to clean the apartment myself, especialy given the price I payed. I contacted the landlord and they gave me a small discount. Nonetheless, ich won't be coming back.

Waders was amazing.
We loved it so much we booked another night. Thank you to the owner. The cottage has every thing. Dish washer and a washer was a massive bonus. Very peaceful area. Parking wasnât an issue. Thereâs two at the front and 4 at the side of the property. Very clean and welcoming. Itâs on a step hill but itâs only a few seconds till youâre off it. A garden for our dog was perfect. Itâs much bigger than we thought. New kitchen. Short walk in to Salcome which was paradise. Shop which we only discovered as we left two streets up (Spar). So itâs easier to nip there than walk or drive to the co-op. 5 min walk down to the village. Lovely pubs and an amazing pizza place. All dog friendly. We will defiantly be back. We didnât want to leave. Thank you.

I want to say how disappointed I am with this cottage.
It shouldnât be let in current state Here is a list of some of the many issues we have had Oven not fit for purpose. Had to leave on for 5hrs to get to just warm enough to cook something. Then didnât cook it properly. House freezing cold and bedrooms wonât get warm Shower in smaller bathroom doesnât get to heat and makes so much noise Bath / sink leaked through to the lounge Only 5 plates in house for 8 people Toaster doesnât work well Only 2 small pans for frying Fire heater in lounge useless Wi-Fi doesnât work in bedrooms Plastic bowl with holes and cracks in cupboard There is so much moreâ¦. It was a shame as the cottage was in a good location. For 8âpeople there just wasnât enough facilities and utensils in the kitchen.

This was our first time using Airbnb and we were so impressed. The house felt so homely and the kids loved it. The rooms were big and really comfortable and the house had some very homely finishing touches. The kitchen was very well equipped and the location was perfect. We were visiting family and were so close to them. The area was very leafy and felt very safe. Entrance to the property was super easy and everything worked like clockwork. We felt so chilled after a long journey and so grateful that we had lots of space to relax in. We didn’t use the garden but it looked like a lovely size and easily accessible. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the house to anyway visiting Worcester. Thank you for such a fabulous base for us to have x
