“We stayed at Pelham House over Christmas.”

We were a bit apprehensive at first as we were planning to cook Christmas dinner for the family and weren't sure if we would have the dinnerware and cookware we would need. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and everything went well and couldn't have been better. The cottage was perfect for our needs once we figured out how to work the central heating.

We were a bit apprehensive at first as we were planning to cook Christmas dinner for the family and weren't sure if we would have the dinnerware and cookware we would need. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and everything went well and couldn't have been better. The cottage was perfect for our needs once we figured out how to work the central heating. It was a very comfortable and homely cottage with original features and in an excellent location for the town. We took two dogs with us and there were some lovely walks nearby. I would stay at this cottage again. I don't like to be negative about such a nice cottage but perhaps a Christmas tree at that time of year would have been a bonus however such a minor thing wouldn't stop me visiting again.

“The stairs are very steep.”

Considering we had an 85 year old Grandad with us this did give us some worries.Luckily he is fairly agile despite having had two knee replacements.

“Pleasant accommodation with original features, such as fireplaces in bedrooms etc.”

, though we didn't consider using them of course, as the accommodation is centrally heated. We needed to adjust the thermostat from time to time as it was late summer and the heatwave had long gone. One of our party, who is quite an elderly person, wanted a bathroom/toilet on the same level as her bedroom, so she decided the top floor would be best for her. The steps were quite steep, but she managed. One minor thing to point out was a low beam on the top floor which needs a BIG notice on both approaches to it. Once bumped into, a notice wouldn't be required, as you tend to remember, but it's just that initial bump that could be avoided. Also a small pan would be an idea, to help with the environment, and we took all the recycling home, as didn't appear to be a recycling bin.

“The cottage was not what we expected.”

On arrival The patio area was dirty,the porch needed painting dustbin stank weeds growing rubbish on The ground .this is a sitting out area?first impressions were not good.Now for inside.My wife spent Friday evening wiping the kitchen over all the tops were cleaned with cif the cloth was rinsed twice the water was brown. Shower filfy around the channels.curtain rail came down.the owner needs to look after the house a bit better,it needs love and care clearly it's not getting it,i could go on and on with a list It's not fare for your customers to pay those sort of prices,to be met with a holiday home like this,it Spoils the holiday.I would appreciate a phone call from yourselves or the owner of the house.it's not the cleaners fault Your sincerely J Cookson
