Cozy and cute cottage for a big group!

Need of some basics - shower gel, salt, pepper...

Our judge of a holiday cottage is whether we would book it again – we will most definitely NOT !

First impressions on arrival were not good. A large section of the roof is covered in black tarpaulin – obviously a much cheaper alternative than a proper thatched repair. The driveway is extremely overgrown (back garden is worse) but that is probably a blessing as this covered much of the litter strewn about the driveway. The outside bin is also on the driveway so you are greeted by a swarm of wasps every time you step out of the car or house. You open the door to a smell – a wet dog smell ? or maybe that mixed with what looks like a urine stain on the carpet just to the left of the main door. I went straight to the SPAR along the road to buy some airglade fresheners. There are cobwebs everywhere. The utility room – while equipped with the washer, dryer and a fridge freezer, also has a smell. The kitchen could be stunning but all the wooden surfaces are either stained and sticky or covered in black mould (around the taps). It needs sanded back and resealed / varnished and it would look fantastic. The water from the dishes on the draining rack drips off the edge onto the floor. There was what appeared to be foodstuff smeared on a section of the wall and also on one of the cupboard doors, some crusty food left on a couple of the saucepans, and some stains on cups and crockery. One of the containers doubled as a cemetery for a couple of insects. We washed EVERYTHING before use. There was generally plenty of equipment – although the freezer in the kitchen, one of the ovens, and a gas ring did not work. Plus, for a house that sleeps 10, there were only 2 deep cereal bowls, so we had to improvise by using glass mixing bowls and plastic food containers so that the kids didn’t eat breakfast in shifts. All the bathrooms have mould around the edges of sinks / showers and not all had toilet roll – so had to buy some of that too. Downstairs double bedroom has serious mould around the whole window and large stains on the ceiling. Paint and plaster cracks...

Disappointing stay

Property had good sized bedrooms and kitchen.

We had numerous issues with the house and despite giving the owners a week to get back to us via email I still haven't heard anything. They replied to a WhatsApp whilst we were staying about the oven not working but have not replied to 2 emails outlining the issues we had when we stayed. So now I am left with no choice but to outline them in a review: - On arrival the majority of pillow cases were wet/damp - The towels all smelt damp and so we washed them all and then tried to tumble dry them but don't think the tumble drier is working properly - The right hand side of the oven and one of the hobs doesn't work but we weren't told about this and realised this whilst trying to cook a big roast dinner. - On arrival the kitchen wasn't clean - the worktops were sticky and had food stains along with the table cloth. The back splash for the oven also had food splashes on it. - The freezer in the kitchen doesn't work although there is another one in utility room. - The garden is a mess which meant we couldn't sit outside and enjoy it. Completely completely overgrown. - There is a possible wasps nest out in the back garden under the kitchen roof which needs to be checked out ASAP due to health and safety reasons. - The upstairs toilet seat is broken and dangerous. - The shower head in the ensuite upstairs isn't safely able to fit into the holder which means it's at risk of falling out and hitting someone. -The staircase and other areas didn't appear to have been vacuumed as there were hairs on the carpet/wood. - The whole house appears tired and in need of updating. The showers are black around the silicone, there are scuffs all over the walls, surfaces and flooring are sticky, cobwebs everywhere. This is a shame as the property has the potential to be nice but all of the above needs to be addressed, mostly with little work like cleaning however they have chosen not to reply to my email.

A great place for a family get-together

It is a lovely cosy cottage and suited our family of 10 well for the weekend. The heating was on and it felt warm, when outside it was bitterly cold. It was spacious, with large tables in the dining room and kitchen. The children loved the large screen TV.

The booking system seemed unduly complicated and I had to ring up twice firstly to get confirmation of the booking after the payment had been made in full, and the evening beforehand to get access information. We took our own travel cot for the baby, but a high chair and plastic plates and cups would have been good for the children.

Accomodation was fine. Deposit and security requirements were unacceptable.

House was fine inside, spacious, warm and what we expected. However, no recycle bins, no instructions for appliances and especially the showers, which were scalding hot. The garden was totally unkempt.

I paid through Booking.com but the owners, Holiday Hideouts, requested I send my passport and credit card to cover a £100 deposit through an internet link. I was not willing to do this, so luckily I live close enough to meet the rep (at least there was a tel no. for her) at the property and inspect the whole house to ensure we would not be charged for any existing damage. I refused to give my passport details. My credit card was debited 1p and then never credited back. This smelled of some scam to me, although the rep said it was "normal" The phone number they texted me from was from the USA and I could find no company details on the internet, so who in their right mind would send them their passport and credit card number? And how would you get the key code without all this rigmarole?

Pleasant

The benefits from large kitchen with a big table, comfy lounge with large tv.

The place is a little tired given it is advertised that it has been newly decorated.

Disappointing

Kitchen was quite big

Not clean Garden small and awful Tired Poor location Didn’t leave enough soap, not 1 dishwasher tablet / bin liners etc The oven knobs were sticky and dirty as some of the kitchen surfaces None of the beds had mattress covers and the master bed , mattress had to be turned due to lumpy surface .. AWFUL Bath leaked and made the bathroom floor wet The worst thing overall was the disgusting stench from bins on arrival which had not been emptied. Twin room hadn’t been hoovered , bits all over the floor The whole house felt dusty and definitely wasn’t cleaned to a fair standard

Very good

Big enough for 10 people, cutlery is more than enough for a group of 10. Quite comfortable. We were really enjoyed to stay in the house.

BBQ facilities should be available, especially in summer. Cleaning equipment like mob should be provided. Freezer may need to be defrosted. The sink area not well drained, always wet after washing. Bin wasn’t clean before we came in.
