    “We found the cottage generally ok.”

    But there were a few things which were an irritation. These were mostly in the kitchen. The doors above the sink area needed to be modified so they open in sympathy with each other. There were some missing items such as serving spoons, small/medium sized dishes suitable for baking and serving things in and there was no decent chopping knife.

    But there were a few things which were an irritation. These were mostly in the kitchen. The doors above the sink area needed to be modified so they open in sympathy with each other. There were some missing items such as serving spoons, small/medium sized dishes suitable for baking and serving things in and there was no decent chopping knife. The one there had a serrated edge, wasn't sharp and it flexed. Small things but over a week they became an annoyance which could have been addressed with a bit of thought.

    The kitchen is 2 years old so really not sure why it was felt there was an issue. Serving spoons and serving dishes are also provided. We will have a look at the chopping knife and sharpen it if required. Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear you found these things to be annoyance. We have carefully thought and try our best to provide everything necessary to offer comfortable stays. Property Owner
