The cottage has been beautifully refurbished with attractive furnishings and decoration and was generally lovely. The booking process was smooth and easy and the owner helpful and friendly with queries beforehand. However it was quite cold throughout the whole cottage all week, although we didn't contact the owner about it, we couldn't get the heaters above 19 degrees and it's quite open plan downstairs with single glazed windows so was cold. We just got on with it and managed, but others staying would be recommended to contact him as I'm sure he could resolve this if asked. The double beds were really small at only 4'6" wide, which we knew about when we booked but still found them really uncomfortable, especially as the mattresses were old and lumpy. There's plenty of room for kingsize or even superking beds in the rooms, which are the norm in this current age, double beds at 4'6" wide are really only comfortable for one person, so we had to sleep in separate bedrooms. Improving the beds would be a good investment as it's this aspect that will stop us re-booking next year. We really missed a fire in the cottage, there's a TV in the fireplace instead, which is a big negative in what should be a cosy luxury cottage. It was more so a miss because the cottage was so cold. It was difficult to get comfortable watching TV because the sofas are facing the wrong way, we had to move them. Although I had visited the village many times before and stayed in the hotel opposite the cottage on the other side of the road each time, I never noticed the road noise from there, but the traffic noise was very loud indeed in the cottage, not helped by having the original single-glazed windows (attractive as they are). When the lorries particularly drove over the manhole cover in the road outside, the cottage actually shuddered each time and it was quite loud. Double or secondary double glazing would help enormously. We've had a lovely week overall thoughmk the cottage is beautiful, and I hope the owner isn't offended by my honest feedback, which I hope helps in improving the property for the comfort of future guests. Thank you.
