Interaction with guest

Barry and Margaret are very happy to chat and advise on local facilities, things to do etc. (Or alternatively let guests totally do their own thing) . One of us will generally meet people when they arrive and do a quick show round - we can generally then tell if people want to chat or be left in peace! We also leave guests our mobile numbers and encourage guests to contact us ,should they need any help whatsoever. We also usually check by text that all is well at some point during the guests stay.

    Owner's reply:
    I am so sorry for the delayed response to your review, for some reason I didn’t get an alert so I have only just seen it. Naturally I was upset to read about your disappointment with some aspects of your stay. Quite clearly the massive summer demand and short turnarounds have taken their toll on our normally high standards of cleanliness and maintenance. I am however pleased to report that we took the cottage off sale to enable us to rectify all the issues identified during your stay and have implemented new procedures for cleaners to identify and report new issues as well as scheduling in regular maintenance breaks. Once again my sincere apologies for you disappointment. Kind Regards Margaret

The worrying drain problem remains a mystery to us.It has never happened before or since ? Finally I am also sorry you felt neglected - many guests prefer their privacy and minimal contact from us. it is tricky to get this right. Kind Regards Margaret PS I dropped the welcome pack i used to provide , as items were often unused and wasted.
