We loved the location and the beautiful village. The cottage has been decorated to a very high standard and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Sadly what let's the owner down is the management company host and stay who manage the property and the cleaning. The day before we were booked to go the village was closed due to the snow and no access possible...it made the national news. The company did kindly contact the owner to ask if we could change the dates if it was still inaccessible but we did manage to get there thanks to having a 4x4. And there sadly the positives end and I fell terrible for the owner having to write all the issues but it is clear that host and stay simply are not interested. We stayed for 2 nights and the accomodation was filthy. I spent over an hour cleaning before we could settle in for the weekend. a real disappointment when the cottage is so beautifully decorated by the owner. I did not ring the company on arrival as has been suggested that I should have done by them so that they could send a cleaner out as I just wanted to get it clean and be able to relax. No cleaner could have arrived at that time and under such short notice to be enable us to try and enjoy the weekend. Plus what kind of employer would put their team at risk travelling to such a location late at night in such terrible weather conditions...snow and ice. List of issues... Bathroom Dirty cloth, dried and musty on the window ledge Dirty toilet brush Dirty toilet seat Shower pipe black Pubic hair in the bath Dirty toothbrush holder Kitchen Coffee grinds left in cafettiere Dirty utensil drainer Dirty drainer Dirty sink Dirty worktop near sink Dirty oven trays Dirty frying pan Dirty crockery and cutlery and cups. Had to wash everything we were going to use No instructions on how to use oven, dishwasher and washer/dryer Room Dirty throw Hall and 1st bedroom Dirty rugs .. had to roll up and put to one side they were so filthy Everywhere ..... Cobwebs. I hope the owner is able to read this and can arrange for a deep clean andy advice....get a different management company as host and stay are really letting you down.
We did have a few minor issues when we first arrived, but they did not detract from our stay at this lovely cottage. So on the negative side, no heating or hot water on arrival due to a boiler fault. The microwave and some crockery had been left dirty by a previous guest. On the plus side the cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortably furnished. Its in the perfect location with views of open moorland from the bedroom windows, and walks straight from the door. Its a few minutes walk into the village centre and 10 minutes to the steam railway. We wouldn't hesitate to book this cottage again.
