“We had a wonderful weeks stay in the Old Toffee Shop.”
The cottage is beautifully presented and lived up to our expectations. The location is excellent. We managed to park right outside to unload and then moved our car to local car parks utilising the permit provided. We only struggled to park on a couple of occasions at the end of the week which was the beginning of half term when the car parks were full!
The facilities in the cottage were excellent with everything we could need and high quality pots, pans and cutlery etc. There was a good selection of games which was a bonus and the welcome hamper was one of the best we’ve ever received. We could have done with some storage space in the master bedroom en suite as we had to pile our toiletries on the windowsill. This wasn’t a problem but will likely cause damage longer term to paintwork etc. A second permit for guests would also be welcome as the cottage is suited to 4 adults (albeit it would be a bit cramped for a full week) but parking is only provided for one car. There is no storage in the kitchen for food so a spare cupboard would be helpful, and a bath sheet would be good too as the towels were too small to wrap around. Tiny quibbles that wouldn’t stop us returning as overall the cottage was wonderful and we would recommend to all.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments about the cottage.
A parking permit is currently £650 annually, which like other goods and services has risen in price dramatically in the last year. We do let guests know that there is only one provided by the cottage prior to booking. We will look into providing additional storage space in the master en-suite. There is some space in the kitchen cupboards for storing food, a little in the sideboard and in the cupboard under the stairs. However, we will have a look if this can be increased further. Please do come back and visit the cottage again.
