    “We enjoyed our stay and found the cottage well equipped, comfortable and reasonably cool despite the exceptional hot weather, which was a bonus!”

    Thank you for the welcoming vase of flowers and the milk and biscuits. Unfortunately we didn’t discover the lack of hot water until we went to bed and only found out we needed to turn on the switch marked “heating” the next morning – a bit confusing as heating was definitely not required! We did feel that a grab rail by the deep bath and an intermediate step at the back door would be practical safety measures for guests in the future.

    Thank you for the welcoming vase of flowers and the milk and biscuits. Unfortunately we didn’t discover the lack of hot water until we went to bed and only found out we needed to turn on the switch marked “heating” the next morning – a bit confusing as heating was definitely not required! We did feel that a grab rail by the deep bath and an intermediate step at the back door would be practical safety measures for guests in the future. It was lovely to be able to sit outside in the peaceful small courtyard. However, the rather neglected state of the outdoor space in general was disappointing – it has the potential to be very attractive.

    Thank you for your review and feedback. I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage well-equipped and comfortable. I believe you visited during a period of rapid plant growth and the hot weather made mowing and weeding challenging. Rest assured, it’s not neglected; it’s as pictured except for the addition of two further chairs! Unfortunately, a rail isn’t something we can install outside as it’s a Grade 2 listed building. There is a step into the cottage as pictured. I’ll ask Manor Cottages to inform future guests about the deep bath and the potential difficulty some might have getting out. We hope you enjoy future visits through Manor Cottages. Property Owner
