A lovely spot and great for touring
Ian and Jo are a lovely couple. The layout of the cottage was good for 2 people which is all it's designed for. The kitchen is well laid out but just a bit light in terms of equipment. We like to cook, usually going for about a 50/50 mix of eat out and cooking. Don't get me wrong, the basics are in place but there was nothing to do a casserole in for example. Chopping board in glass or marble. Frightened to use the marble for fear of marking it and glass is just a horrible surface for cutting or chopping. Only 3 of all crockery items. I know it's only for 2 people but I don't want to wash up every time I have a cup of tea. No hand towel in kitchen. Shortage of lids for pans. If you are going to eat out all the time then none of this is an issue for you. A first was to have no milk in the 'welcome pack'. There is no shop in the village, so if you just arrived and were desperate for tea it's back in the car to get some milk. A small jug in the fridge is enough to show it has been thought of.
What would be an issue for anyone is the very low water pressure. Not enough hot water pressure to get washing up liquid to foam!!. The hot water was good and hot but there was only a very slow flow. Showering then was difficult, so we had shallow baths and good showers in the pool area.
The second important issue was the bedding. The quilt provided was winter weight and so in a normal summer would have been too hot, but with temperatures as they were we had to take the quilt out and just use the quilt cover. We are B&B providers and switched to summer weight (4.5 tog) back in early May.
Cleaning and preparation was very good and the pool and gardens were a real bonus.
