    “It’s a lovely cottage and very well appointed.”

    Everything you would want was in the kitchen and of a very high quality. The estate was a lovely place to stay and nice to walk around. We really enjoyed our stay. The downsides for us were the low beams which we were not aware of before arrival. There was no starter pack for the wood burner. We bought logs and kindling wood and left them behind. The front door had to be locked as the mechanism didn’t keep the door closed and it rattled in the wind. We would like to have been able to adjust ...

    Everything you would want was in the kitchen and of a very high quality. The estate was a lovely place to stay and nice to walk around. We really enjoyed our stay. The downsides for us were the low beams which we were not aware of before arrival. There was no starter pack for the wood burner. We bought logs and kindling wood and left them behind. The front door had to be locked as the mechanism didn’t keep the door closed and it rattled in the wind. We would like to have been able to adjust the heating. It was cold in the main living area but very hot in the bedrooms. We did mention that the roof had a leak in very heavy rain.

    Hi, thanks for your review. We hadn’t considered the beam downstairs to be low enough to be an issue as we are quite tall ourselves but will ask Lyme Bay to add to the property details. Similarly all radiators have individual thermostats which we had assumed people would adjust as needed, but we will add this to the instructions in the property. The thermostat is also on the kitchen worktop to adjust the temperature as required. Lyme Bay have checked for a leak but put it down to the direction of the wind and rain at the time, we will keep an eye on this, similarly with the door which we will check ourselves when we visit this week. There should be an initial supply of logs and kindling provided so we will follow this up. Property Owner
