Beautiful cottage but.......
On arrival we found the most beautiful cottage setting in lovely gardens which we found were superb.
Interior was lovely and homely.
First night was very disappointing 15 tog duvet all round far too hot
Got in touch with owners regarding summer duvet but they did not respond to direct message until late in the evening via VRBO saying no, so had to purchase our own. Only one bedside table which was inconvenient. Staying for a week so did a full shop to eat in, unfortunately no cupboard to store groceries so items had to be stored over limited worktop space.
Washing machine and dishwasher on together left a nasty stagnant smell from drain in conservatory. Filter in tumble dryer was filthy and needed a thorough clean. Fridge door had mould on outside seal, and we feel that the whole place needed a more thorough clean.
On the day of leaving we received a message from the owner informing us that they will be arriving between 9.00-9.30am to cut the grass, we said no because of the dog in the back garden. This we found very annoying as any work should be done after our 10.00am checkout.
Overall a lovely holiday was had by all, in the New Forest but will not return to April Cottage and would not recommend.
