“Meg's Cottage is about a 20 minutes walk from Stratford on Avon and a good base from which to explore the town.”
It is a very comfortable cottage in terms of beds and sofas but disappointing in other ways. From the photos of the property, I expected an open outlook but the cottage looks out on a walled courtyard and is situated on the edge of a caravan site through which you drive to reach it. Caravans can be seen from one of the bedroom windows. The kitchen while well appointed, is basically equipped. The plumbing is noisy when toilets, showers, basins or kitchen sink are used.
So glad you enjoyed your stay at our cottage. The photos of the property do show the private courtyard, which is mentioned in the description. You can see the view from the bedroom and kitchen windows in the photographs too, a view that overlooks our courtyard. We are sorry you wanted an open outlook.
The property isn't part of the adjacent Riverside Caravan Park, the boundary of which is about 200 yards from it. You do drive along a private road that runs alongside the park, which is also fenced off , before turning into the private drive and courtyard for Megs Cottage and The Bolt Hole. I must say, nobody has ever said that before so I checked it out, out of curiosity. You really would have to crane your neck, at a 90 degree angle, out of an open window of the 2nd bedroom to see the perimeter fence of the caravan park that is 200 yards away.
I'm not really sure what else would be needed for a 5-7 day stay in a holiday home. We have included what we can think of, but happy to add items to make a stay more comfortable, preferably at the start of a stay rather than afterwards, so we can help to make the holiday as enjoyable as we can for our guests..
Due to our proximity to the river and the land levels around the area, there is a Saniflo system that pumps waste water from the toilets, shower and sinks out to the main drainage system. The pump will make a low grumbling noise briefly when it is activated. I am afraid there is nothing we can do about that.
Thank you for your comments, we aim to improve the cottages all the time.
