坎特里赛德大卫乡间房屋 - 附马术

I received a free upgrade to one of the Lodges so don't actually know about Davy Cottage. However, the lodge called Owls Nest was lovely. Spacious, well equipped, clean and really comfortable. The view was great. Parking was directly outside. The road is rather pot-holed (not unlike the rest of the country!) and I didn't like the black towels which left lint all over me, but that is really me being finicky! We ate in the restaurant one evening which was very good. The peacocks were amusing, one of the males stomped over the lodge roof briefly one evening but it seems that they are kept inside during the night as they were not heard until the morning. I would live to stay here again in warmer weather.

Our stay was lovely but breakfast was only served until 9am so you have to get up not to miss it. The cottage was lovely, well equipped for self catering option. We will take our breakfast next time The grounds of the cottage are beautiful. We will definitely stay again.

We booked this cottage 27-30 Dec in the grounds of Great Trethew Manor Hotel partly because the hotel had a bar & restaurant. However, we were not informed that the hotel was closed until new years eve! A fact I feel sure Jane the host would have been aware of. Naughty! The cottage itself was tatty, dirty & damp. Despite the welcome pack boasting that not only did they disinfect, they also cleaned first, then disinfected?! (How else would it be done, I ask myself..) The place certainly was not clean, with dust & finger prints on the glass tv cabinet, grease splatters on the hob, dirty finger stains on doors etc. Flaky paint & poorly painted walls. I found myself adjusting the header tapes on poorly hung curtains lol. Overcrowded extension sockets were a fire risk. I could on, but I think you get the picture. For me the worst was the black mould down the bedroom walls. A very unhealthy environment to sleep in! We considered sleeping on the futon in the lounge but one of the wooden sides was split, so probably not safe. I confess we did not complain at the time - how much would the host have been able to rectify in a couple of days? As holiday rental owners ourselves we do understand it is not always possible to satisfy everybody's expectations. However, if the host is intending to continue taking guests' hard earned money, she needs to up her game considerably, and not to just pay lip service to hygiene standards, by cheekily asking guests to bag up their own laundry!!
