“Lovely cottage, comfortable beds, pleasant venue and nicely provisioned accomodation.”
As others have commented the wifi wasn't reliable. I would have preferred to be aware of the caravan and camping site next to the cottage when I made the booking rather than finding out when the directions arrived. Though we were not the least disturbed and heard no noise.
Finally given the time of covid I was surpised to find open food items of flour, oil, and unopened juice and milk, presumably left by the previous occupants in the cupboard/fridge. I was also surprised the oven glove and kitchen towels were used and assumed the previous occupant had left them. Thankfully we had our own with us. There were also socks in a bedroom drawer. These were minor things but affected my feelings about the accomodation and made me doubt it had been properly cleaned, as did the sticky kitchen floor. I would have expected any items like this to have been removed and the floor to be cleaned.
We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Megs Cottage. We put our heart and soul into creating two holiday properties from a historic grade 2 agricultural barn and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the holiday experience of our guests. You have brought to our attention points that "were minor things but affected my feelings about the accommodation", therefore we would like to answer those points below. We are aware that the wifi signal is intermittent in the area, as stated on our property details. Most guests are ok with this on a relaxing break, but we are trying to find a reliable solution. There is the perimeter of a very nice managed caravan park about 200 meters away on the approach to Megs Cottage, which has never caused us any issues, especially as all you can see is a handful of well-kept static caravans. In fact you can't even see them from the holiday cottage and we are situated in a private gated courtyard. It is actually a bonus that our guests can use the caravan park's lovely riverside restaurant and bars, the laundrette as well as the very handy riverboat taxis to visit historic Stratford-upon-Avon without taking the car. We apologise for missing one pair of socks left by one of our previous guests in the back of a drawer. We will be more vigilant. Regarding the "unopened juice and milk, presumably left by the previous occupants in the cupboard/fridge", we leave a simple welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar milk, juice and other provisions which most of our guests appreciate. We apologise if you felt the floor wasn't as clean as you would expect. We will address this with our cleaners of course. Thank you for your feedback, it helps us to improve our accommodation and the holiday experience of our future guests. Thank you for staying with us and we hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
