    “Positives 1.”

    Great view. 2. Decent local pub with good beer and friendly staff. 3. Easy access to Devizes and to the main neolithic sites in Wiltshire (which is why we were there). Main Negatives - in descending order 1. It's not really a 2 bed property - there is one bedroom and a space at the top of the stairs with a bed in it. The photos conceal this. 2.

    Great view. 2. Decent local pub with good beer and friendly staff. 3. Easy access to Devizes and to the main neolithic sites in Wiltshire (which is why we were there). Main Negatives - in descending order 1. It's not really a 2 bed property - there is one bedroom and a space at the top of the stairs with a bed in it. The photos conceal this. 2. There is no door or ventilated lobby between the downstairs toilet and the kitchen and living room. Not to everyone's taste (including the local Building Control Section). 3. The kitchen lights are poorly positioned, so that the cooker top is shadowed by the cook.

    Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to learn that you didn't find the cottage satisfactory. I have never had negative feedback before. It is not my intention to mislead guest. You do need to pass through one bedroom to access the main bedroom, I apologise if this is not clear on the website. There is a lobby area between the WC, kitchen and lounge, admittedly there is no fixed door on the toilet there is heavy duty curtain, if I fitted a door it would make access to the toilet difficult. The cottage dates back to the 1800's, the WC has been there prior to me purchasing the cottage so would've met building control back then. With regards to the lights in the kitchen, the property was rewired and new lights installed. There is only one space where the cooker can sit, it was not practical to fit a modern extractor with lights so I opted for a basic extractor instead. The kitchen is a bright and airy space, Your review was disappointing, I have been Holiday Letting for 6 to 7 years, I take great pride in the cottage, I try to communicate with guests during their stay to ensure they are happy as I want people to enjoy their stay. I don't understand why you only marked facilities at 50%, there is a washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker, microwave, fridge freezer, toaster, sofa, log burner, 2 beds one double and a 4ft, lovely size walk in shower, WC and basin, downstairs WC, outside furniture and a beautiful garden, so the facilities are as stated on the website, if there were additional things you wanted/needed then you should have booked somewhere that had those facilities. I'd be interested to know why you only gave 50%. I'm sure you found the cottage to be clean, well equipped and cosy, which is the high standards I aim for. Property Owner
