    “The property was as advertised, but the ground floor had a nasty smell the whole time we were there (not the smell from the cows).”

    The garden furniture was filthy and unusable. The beams were thick with dust and spiders. The back of our car was damaged by one of the farm vehicles. On a positive note, the directions to the farm were excellent.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay at Bluebell Cottage Farm Stay, although I was a little disappointed to hear your comments as they do not align with our usual excellent feedback. We only live next door to the property, and if you had made us aware of any issues during your stay we would have endeavoured to help. After your stay we did check the property regarding the smell, but could not detect anything out of the ordinary, other guests have also not made any comments regarding this. The outside furniture for the guests to use was bought last year and is in great condition, we suspect you were in the owner's area where some older furniture is stored, and it is not intended for guests' use. In your feedback you mention your car was damaged, we take great care in making sure we provide a parking area for our guests that is well away from machinery, you may have been parked in the wrong area, again we were not made aware of any problems during your stay.
