I don’t really write reviews but feel on this occasion the need to. We booked this cottage because it’s ideally situated and has all the amenities listed we needed for our two week holiday. Online it looked absolutely perfect. When we arrived however, it soon became very clear that all is not as it seemed. First the dishwasher and the bottom oven didn’t work. The dishwasher kept tripping the main fuse. After I phoned, someone came out fairly quickly to take a look and said someone would come the next day to fix it. This didn’t happen. The oven (both) and baking sheets were absolutely disgusting, covered in a thick grimy layer of fat and grease. Obviously, no one had seen the necessity to clean it for quite some time. As we have dogs we always bring blankets with us to cover the furnishings, however here we used our blankets to cover up the sofas, which needles to say were also pretty rancid. As for under the sofas ….. I’m not even going there. The sink in the downstairs bathroom only drained extremely slowly and the shower leaked water all over the floor from beneath the shower tray. Mould in the upstairs bathroom, a hob extraction fan which was also filthy and didn’t work, a light bulb in the living room which was so dim you practically needed a torch to read anything, just topped off the whole experience. When I think how much we paid for the two weeks, I feel that the accommodation was well below par. The whole place needs a thorough deep clean and renovation.
