Wow - we stayed for Christmas (1 couple 1 single) and it was home from home ! Every single comfort w

Wow - we stayed for Christmas (1 couple 1 single) and it was home from home ! Every single comfort was provided - starting our mornings at the breakfast table and ending our days lazing on a sofa each watching the huge screen was heaven! Location is perfect; 10mins walk to town; the road is busy however being a beautiful restored property with restrictions on windows - we use a white noise machine and being from London slept 10hours a night - absolutely no disturbances!!!! we have stayed in many luxury properties but this was above and beyond with the little things… the festive decorations were simple and tasteful; the instructions access key on arrival was excellent with a direct email a few days before in case Cottages went to spam… mince pies, Prosecco and turkey foil provided - that was so sweet! All the additional items bin liners; dishwasher tablets; toilet roll; heating was important as it was so cold and we could not have been more toasty - absolutely everything was in abundance (usually you are provided with just a few….) superb quality white goods too! I could call out an edge in the shower that needs doing; a little break on a kitchen cupboard door; and the floor gets dusty due to high ceilings and floor colouring; and hard to open lower ground floor entrance!… absolutely minuscule comments! The lift is a dream luxury btw!!! And the lovely entrance; parking; bins wooden store area - truly a sensational property; location and VALUE FOR MONEY! I wish we owned this property LOVED IT xxxx
