“Your description of a bathroom ‘ideally’ situated on the ground floor is , of course, estate agent speak , because in almost no ones world is it ideally situated.”
We knew on booking that it was ground floor which we dislike but this was a compromise . We did not anticipate that it was accessed through a conservatory , glass all round, & that the join between conservatory ( sorry, ‘dining room’ in your world) & lounge involved a 2” lip up follow by 4” drop down . This is important when in the latter case , you are getting up in the night to go to the toilet , & in the former , wanting to get washed in the morning. Bear in mind there is a public footpath in full view a few yards away. The shower was unsuited to a holiday let because it is fixed height ( for someone very tall) so with no shower caps , difficult to avoid getting hair wet.
The kitchen has a tiled work surface with grouting , so impossible to keep clean . The double bedroom , not photographed I notice, is the smaller less attractive one.Why? We worked out it would be perfectly a possible to fit the two somewhat chunky single beds in the smaller room & allow couples to enjoy the extra room , wardrobes & pretty fireplace.
Anyone, seeing an assurance that there is parking on street would assume this was a sreet you could see. You can’t. I felt misled in this respect. We had to cart suitcases some distance & cross a busy A road with them.
The cottage heating was on day & night which we are not used to & because it was way too hot especially when cooking , my husband reduced the temperature.
I felt the visitors handbook was halfhearted. No decent instructions for getting the tv started , & again , different to ours. A quick comprehensive guide to putting the heating on timer would have helped.
Issues in the visitor book about positioning of the tv have not been addressed. You have to move both settees for two people to see the whole screen.
Anyway , not my most successful choice of accommodation you can see. A good job the walks , Blenheim , Oxford , & RSPB reserve which we found , delivered completely in the holiday experience.
Thanks for your feedback that my colleague discussed with you over the phone at the time. All comments have gone to the owner for their consideration and any remedial action necessary.
