    We have had a lovely relaxing week at New Year. It could have been improved by better mattresses on the double beds.

  • Jayne

    When arriving we needed to let the dog into the garden - it was dark and I opened the patio doors which had a sofa in-front of the left door (which hid the warning sign of a sheer drop) thank god the dog went out before I did as he dropped a good 6ft into bushes beneath the patio doors - it could have been far worse if I had stepped out! I held onto the lead as he dangled be north until my husband ran in to rescue him! Yes it does state in the manual that it’s a sheer drop but when you first arrive in the dark it’s stupid to put a sofa in-front if the warning sign at the bottom of the glass door! This is sold as a premium property- the cottage is lovely but it needs a bit of TLC to fix the drips in the conservatory and the dodgy toilet seat. And the driveway up needs to have the leaves removed as thy make it slippy under the car making parking stressful as the car slid on the leaves.
