“Everything in the cottage was great, and there are also enough wall sockets to charge every possible phone and camera batteries at the same time which is unusual and much appreciated.”
The location is perfect for travel by both bus and by train. There were little rabbits that came onto the patio to eat the leaves on the railings. I would have liked better lighting for working on the table as the lamp could not be moved and the ceiling bulbs are not adequate. ----------------------------------------------------- This is for Sykes. (Please make sure that they get in contact with number 1Railway Cottages to check) Please note that the passage outside is lit by a motion activated light outside this cottage, and the passage is smooth and safe here. Unfortunately walking along to leave there are no lights between there and almost reaching the turn at the corner. The light at the corner just about reaches the door of number three when coming from the other direction, but this light goes off just at the door of number three and then there is a very rough patch of ground with one of those metal areas with the patterned surface and a slope. As it suddenly turns to pitch black as one reaches this it is very easy to trip and land on one's nose, as I unfortunately did. My nose was very badly bruised and swollen and red, with later development of a little bruising under the eye area. I texted the owners of number one and they said that in 11 years no-one has tripped before. I told them that they must put in lights outside their building because the next person might get concussed or worse. They wrote back that they will put in lights. Please could you check that they have done so. The blood stains from my fall had been washed away by rain by the morning, so I could not take photographs of the bleed, but I bled so much (mostly over the kitchen sink whilst pressing the bridge of my nose) that I called 111 for advice. Luckily there should be no permanent damage, the graze on the nose is healing and it is less red, and it is almost painless now to blow my nose. I would be happy to send you photos of the passageway outside number 1 that is not lit, and also photos of my poor nose as it was on Wednesday and then on Friday. Now it looks almost back to normal.
