Sweet rural cottage- but information/write-up is out-dated
This is a sweet semi-detached cottage, but is in need of some updating. The house owner and local greeter were both very responsive and helpful with any issues/queries.
When we first arrived we were a little saddened that the cottage did not look exactly as it does in the photos. The garden was very overgrown and where in the photos there had been 2 sofas in the sitting room there was just now one sofa. This was not ideal for a family of 5! The write-up also says there was a shower, but this was in-fact a showerhead on a bathtub. It’s also worth taking care if you have a large car. We have a fairly large family car and although we could make it down to the house down the bumpy farm track we realised the vegetation had scratched our car. Having said that the owner was extremely kind and accommodating, allowing us to take our two dogs, and when we raised the state of the garden and the issue with our car he got the grass mowed the same day and helped us get parking at the top of the lane so we didn’t need to drive down it every time we went out.
The location being rural was perfect to allow the kids to roam, and is great for walks along the estuary. It’s worth taking note that the garden is not secure and next door and the track is openly accessible- so not suitable for small kids or dogs that wander.
In terms of safety, we did notice that there was only one smoke alarm on the ground floor but not one on the upstairs landing, and there was no carbon monoxide detector.
