Friendly owner, cottage clean albeit very small, beds comfortable ,shame the very small outside area wasnt very inviting, could be made better if all the weeds were cleared, the dripping tap was a pain, reported to owner but not repaired, lack of dog waste bin meant us taking it with us daily to dispose of, towards end of week a black bin appeared outside so maybe they forgot, nice that dogs allowed but really you need an enclosed garden,ok for my dog as she is old but wouldnt lend itself to young dogs, It lacks small things to make it feel welcoming, i mean come on ONE toilet roll, towels were like scouring pads
Dear Colleen,
I don't really understand your comments about the dog waste and bin. The bin you say "appeared", was because I put it by the lane for collection day. Prior to that, it was sitting about 4 yards from the `Granary entrance - in full view and exactly where it says in the welcome pack.
I'm equally confused about your remarks about the outside area. It's exactly as shown in the listing. Admittedly there were a couple of weeds, but many visitors comment on how lovely it is to sit out there.
The cottage is self catering. A lot of places don't even provide a single loo roll...
As to it not "feeling welcoming", was the free tea, coffee, fresh milk and fresh cream tea (both bought the morning of your arrival) not enough for you?
I called the plumber as soon as you mentioned the tap. It's a tiny, TINY drip and the plumber obviously doesn't view it as a priority, as he's saying he'll come next week. Tut, just can't get the staff.
I think the towels you are referring to are the "modern" woven ones I provide. Personally, I agree with you and prefer old fashioned towelling myself, but hey ho, got to move with the times.
Anyway, thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry you had such a miserable time. If only you'd mentioned this stuff (other than the tap) the two or three times I saw you during your stay and asked you if everything was ok. I have traditional towels in stock, plenty of loo roll (which you could have had for free), could have pulled the weeds in 20 seconds, and would have shown you the bin...
