Host & Stay - Fox Cottage

It was exceptionally clean, comfortable and easy to live in. Nothing was wrong. Bellingham is a lovely place to stay.

I did not like the policy of charging for potential damage or breakages. It cost me an extra €30 for not hurting anything in the property.. I find this policy of the interface company iniquitous and I shall never knowingly use them again. I thought I was with Booking.com but it turned out to be Host and Stay. Their additional charges for cleaning etc were very high also. Their downloaded information was also not adequate for local amenities nor for where the utility cupboard key was located. I repeat the cottage itself was superb but the agents far less so.

Newly renovated, clean, well appointed, comfortable beds and warm. Hand over process was easy. Large rooms with comfy beds. Good sofas and a decent TV with streaming services. Wifi worked fine. Really nice house - have booked it again for later in the year.

Not sure the damage deposit/waiver policy thing is really necessary - but I went with it and paid my £25 extra For the kitchen, Please could we have a grill pan, a plastic spatula so as not to damage the non stick pans For the bathroom - a small shelf to put wash bag, razor etc on as there isn't anywhere. Slight smell of oil from the boiler in the kitchen

Deco was great

Basically we are family of 5. 2 adults and 3 kids and when they eat they make a bit of a mess with cereal. There was no hover or dust pan and brush. So we lived in house without being able to tidy ourselves. Also, the cleaning bill which is a quarter of the cost of accomodation is too high at £90.

love the decorations and comfy most things ready to use

few spiders left hanging in kitchen

The cottage is situated in a lovely place and everyone was really friendly. We would book again for next year.

I did cook during our stay and would benefit from a new frying pan. My son was upset as there was no dvd player.
