    “The two dead plants at the front door were not a very good welcome.”

    We wondered when the owners last visited their property or indeed when the property was last inspected by Sykes. The lower lock on the front door requires attention. It seems to be malfunctioning. The worn and dirty cream carpet on the stairs and in the two bedrooms was a poor colour chose. Its condition was an eyesore and a distraction and not at all an asset.

    We wondered when the owners last visited their property or indeed when the property was last inspected by Sykes. The lower lock on the front door requires attention. It seems to be malfunctioning. The worn and dirty cream carpet on the stairs and in the two bedrooms was a poor colour chose. Its condition was an eyesore and a distraction and not at all an asset. The cold tap in the kitchen was stiff and difficult to turn on and off. In contrast the cold tap in the bathroom constantly ran or dripped unless turned off firmly. The small freezer in the kitchen was full of ice in desperate need of defrosting. The kitchen was small and cluttered with hardly any useful work surface to prepare food or serve food. There were too many (unnecessary) items in the kitchen cupboards and drawers and crucially little space to store groceries. The left hand side of the French doors has dropped and requires maintenance. It could only be closed with great difficulty by lifting it back into place. The downstairs toilet door was difficult to open and close. Again it requires some basic maintenance. Parking was difficult as other guests randomly parked in our designated space. The designated space was located some distance from the cottage. On the plus side. The mattresses / beds were comfortable. The shower was excellent. The general grounds at Pendra Loweth were well maintained, but the actual garden at the cottage needed some attention. However the outlook over the lawn and woodland was excellent.

    - Jet, July 2024

    Following the reinstatement of Morton Cottage recently we would like to address the points raised in your feedback after your visit in July. We were very sorry to hear of the issues you raise which as you will see are in stark contrast to the many other positive reviews we've received for the property. You will be pleased to hear that the house is closed off for the winter whilst the owners go through the property to maintain and upgrade following a very busy season. To confirm, the pots at the front door were taken away and replanted, the general maintenance of the grounds, including the garden outside the property is part of Pendra Loweth’s remit. All of the doors and windows were replaced before the beginning of the season in accordance with the current fire regulations. The fire risk assessment was carried out by Black Rook who passed the house as safe. Exit doors would have featured large in their assessment, however these have been checked by the owner as a matter of urgency and they have reported back that they have been unable to find any issues with the patio doors and the lower lock on the front door has also been checked and found to be working perfectly. There is no freezer at the property but there is a small freezer compartment in the fridge which may not be defrosted between each guest but IS defrosted regularly, had you let us know it was frozen during your stay we could have asked our housekeeper to attend and rectify this for you. The owners visit at least once a month, and check that kitchen cupboards and drawers are tidy and saucepans, crockery etc are back in the appropriate places. This leaves two cupboards for guests to use for food storage. The vast majority of guests comment on how exceptionally well equipped the cottage is. The taps will be checked as a matter of routine however no-one else has complained about a problem with taps. The owners are aware that the carpet in the property is due for replacement and this is being addressed. You will appreciate that the parking of other guests is beyond our control, however allocated parking is available and had you raised the parking issue with us we would have been able to try and resolve this for you. The owner takes their letting of Morton Cottage very seriously and pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences, this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.
