“We stayed at Dormouse cottage during the Feb half term.”
Here are our comments:
Good points:
Able to get into the property easily, and actually got an email the day before saying it had already been cleaned so we could arrive whatever time we wanted.
Beds all very clean and comfy, we all slept brilliantly
Cute, traditional cottage, with many features you would expect (this properly has steep stairs and low beams as you would expect a cottage to have)
Bathroom clean with a brand new seal on shower screen, so no leaks when using the shower
Fully enclosed rear garden to let our dog out into, this was great
Good TV that worked well, and really good wifi even with multiple devices connected
Microwave, fridge, cooker and other kitchen appliances all clean and worked fine.
Warm and easy to heat to the temperature you want
Arrived to a bottle of wine, tea and coffee making things and pre packeted biscuits waiting for us, this was a lovely touch!
Not so good points:
Other than the basics you would expect some areas of the cottage needed a good clean. I think this isn’t helped by all the decorative items around the cottage. I went prepared and wiped round with detox wipes.
The sofa wasn’t great and was covered in dog hair. We spent about 20 minutes hoovering this. It did have a lot of scatter cushions and blankets on it so we removed these and didn’t put them back on then gave it a good hoover.
The front door was quite stiff and needed a good pull / push to make sure it was shut properly. Others have commented on the noise from the windows, we didn’t really notice this too much and it definitely wasn’t an issue for us.
Overall we had a great stay. It was comfy, we slept well and could easily sort food etc. The location is also great with plenty of things to do in and around the village. Plus our 7 year old son also really enjoyed it and slept well.
Since returning the owner of the cottage contacted us for feedback and was genuinely interested in what we had to say and how he can make improvements. Again, Another great touch!
Thanks for a lovely stay, we are booking for a return visit later in the year!
We are so pleased that you had a good holiday and enjoyed staying in Dormouse Cottage. Thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review. We will attend to the cleanliness issues. We look forward to welcoming you again.
