“We did enjoy our stay at Bateman's, but had a few issues with the cottage.”
Firstly though....the good bits: the beds are very comfy! I would say the mattresses were medium to firm. The cottage is very peaceful. We found it relaxing. It is within waking disance of shops and we liked Nailsworth as a base for the week. Now the issues we had: the kitchen, despite having all the white goods, is poorly designed and small. You have to keep moving the bin and shutting the door to get into the fridge/freezer. It got very annoying. There was hardly any empty cupboard space for our provisions either. And the kitchen was not that well equipped. Only one cereal bowl between the four of us but 16 soup dishes! The only tin opener was bent and it would not work very well. The single bedroom has nowhere for clothes! One very small bedside table. No hanging space and not even a chest of drawers, though there was space enough for a small one. Those were really the only negatives for us. We did have a bit of trouble getting the tumble dryer to work at first, but Alison and Howard, the caretakers, were very helpful and got it going. We noted in the information sheet that was left for us that they wanted us to take our rubbish with us on leaving. Never had that in any other cottage we have rented. We put our rubbish out on bin day, but the bin men never took it. Alison very kindly said not to worry and that all our rubbish would be dealt with if we bagged it up. On the whole, we had a good week though. Lots of places to see. I will not miss that kitchen or the stairs though!
