“The cottage was lovely, clean, and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.”
The landlady was very considerate and helpful, and we especially appreciated the scones she left for us when we arrived. The setting was lovely--the cottage was adjacent to a large field, and we were thrilled to find cows coming straight up to our windows the second day after we arrived.
The only issue we had was the lack of sound-proofing between our floor and the one above (the loft apartment). We could almost hear everything--the upstairs neighbors waking up, talking, walking, and my kids in the bedroom right below theirs could even hear them snoring at night! Fortunately my husband and I had the bedroom on the other side of the cottage which does not have a second floor, so our sleep was not disturbed.
Finally, the website indicated that there is a washer, but there is none in the cottage although we could use the owners' in their kitchen for a 5 pound fee. This should have been made explicit on the website. While the landlady was accommodating, It is less convenient for us to have to work around the owner's schedule to do laundry.
