“We have just had week at Owl cottage,and to our dismay it has drastically changed from last year.”
It is no longer private and secluded,as we drove up the lane we were greeted with more lock up storage units,that were still being built,then there is like a compound with cars,boats,caravans,vans and lorry’s in,after that it goes into what maybe another area of units,all of this being very close to the cottage.On Sunday morning a man was on top of his lorry doing something,but could see us clearly and visa versa.Monday at approximately 7:45 in the morning,we were treated to an angle grinder going while they finished a unit.This was not the peace and quiet we experienced last year.While some effort to plant small trees around the perimeter had been done,it will take a few years for them to grow big enough to be able to hide the sight.We couldn’t sit downstairs as both the chairs are now really uncomfortable and the bed seems to have deteriorated a lot in a year,my husband discovered that it’s held up by blocks.The rest of the cottage is lovely.We we’re so disappointed when we arrived to be greeted with the sight of these units etc and so close to the cottage.I’m afraid we will not be booking Owl cottage again,we are back on the hunt for peace,quiet and seclusion.Had we been made aware of these changes,we would of looked for somewhere else,I feel our only holiday of the year has been spoilt.
We apologise that this is your experience and that you feel this way. We have made some changes and are continuing to make changes in light of the feedback that we receive. Since your holiday all of the vehicles have been moved from the front of the cottage. The storage units have being finished and there are no plans for any more developments close to the cottage. We have also replaced the chairs downstairs and we are looking into getting a different mattress and improving the bed. We are currently in the process of taking more photos out the front of the cottage to reflect the changes.
