“I have also left the same or similar comments in the "Comments Book" at the cottage.”
1. The parking can be a major issue, perhaps we were just unlucky but it would have been nice for the possible problems to be made clear when we were booking.
2. Great to have a washing machine but unfortunately no method of drying, no clothes line or clothes airer available in the cottage.
3.I would suggest that as the cottage is fitted with a wood burner that some fire lighters and matches should also be left as well.
4. The heating in the cottage is electric, and as the weather has been rather chilly it would have been nice if the heating had been switched on before we arrived to try and take the chill off the cottage before we arrived.
5. The bathroom does really need a lock fitting, guess its ok if only a couple are staying but as we were 2 couples it could have been embaressing.
As I said in the comments book, the cottage is lovely and all these points are just little "tweaks" to make it even more enjoyable.
