“This cottage was not as advertised, the original advert that’s now been changed stated there was an enclosed patio, the gate was Broken so our dog got out onto the busy road, the sofas have seen better days!”
If you can’t get parked you won’t get parked! The cottage shakes as lorry and tractors busses go past, the beds are uncomfortable and the stairs are very narrow and steep, no baby gate provided.

Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Apple Tree Cottage. We try very hard to help and I was at the cottage by 9am the following morning after your arrival. As confirmed by Sykes, the description has not been changed. The property is described as "enclosed" which it is. This does not mean secure as this is subjective to each guests' pets or children. Apple Tree Cottage has a fence all the way around and gate with a bolt. I did come to the property to meet you and resolve your problems but you were not available.
The description says the stairs are steep. Though our most frequent guest who is 89, has not had a problem. The stairs are typical of a 300 year cottage and it would be a shame to remove the cottage's character by putting in modern stairs.
The description correctly states there is roadside parking. Previous guests have never had a problem here and, as Google Maps shows, there is 100m of unrestricted road serving just five houses. I am not sure why you could not park. When I came to meet you there were only four cars parked on the lane.
We do state the cottage is situated beside a country lane and therefore some associated traffic noise can be heard but it is very peaceful as shown by previous guests' comments.
Comfort of beds and sofas is subjective but we regularly receive compliments.
We do not offer to provide a stairgate and do not state that we do.
