It seemed a bit unnecessary to collect the key from the other end of the town. There was no yellow cone to show the parking space and no welcome pack. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. As we about to leave it was dark and the power went off. We enjoyed the weather for 3 days.

We had to enlist a resident to help us. It was not clear at all that the gate round the back was the property. Also there was no parking notice to where we should park. There was no welcoming hamper as experienced by previous guests or welcoming hosts. There were no black bags as listed in the instructions to deal with rubbish or recycling so none was very clear. The shower was excellent but the bed uncomfortable and sank in the middle.

45 at night Their dog came into the cottage as it wasn't on a lead On another occassion the dog messed on the grass, although picked up, we didn't let our grandchildren play on the grass anymore Some nights their external lights were left on No bin liners for the kitchen bin or wheelie bin No welcome pack as in previous years, not even a pint of milk Only one tea towel suppied Two windows don't open In the light of the above £2,400 a fortnight is excessive After our previous 7 happy stays this will be our last
