“We had a family trip to Chipping Campden.”
The Thatched cottage photographs looked lovely and we thought it would be ideal to stay in such a historic building. The cottage was tired and in need of some TLC. I understand that there are many nooks and crannies that spiders can live, however the number of cobwebs in the cottage is off putting and brings into question how well it is cleaned. I got the vacuum cleaner out to deal with some that were obvious…the vacuum was absolutely fulll and had not been emptied in a good while.

The kitchen needs some good quality baking trays and utensils. Maybe an area for investment…the mugs look old and tired, small chips and imperfections. It sort of feels that the cast offs from another home are brought here to serve the rest of their life out.
The smart TV in the bedroom… should that not be in the lounge for all the guests to enjoy?
Might I suggest that the owners live here for a week and experience using the cottage for themselves.
The garden was not used…. It is overgrown, unwelcoming ….rusty table and chairs…we do not want rust stains on our clothes. It just did not feel a nice place to be.
Location is superb, just a short walk into the village. Plenty of loo roll supplied, good quality bedding and towels.
Thank you for your feedback on Thatched Cottage. we can only apologise the cleanliness was not up to our usual high standards, this will be raised with the housekeeping team. we are going to replace the baking trays, utensils nd mugs following on from your feedback. The garden was tidied and trimmed not long before your stay, we will look to attend in the very near future. Best wishes. Manor Cottages
