Host & Stay - Percy Cottage

Perfect location for a wedding at Petit le chateau

Amazing location very peaceful and relaxing just what we needed

Shower was a bit of an issue for two tall guys, needs a larger shower screen.

We stayed at the property roughly 18/19 months ago and It was fantastic. However since that time the property has clearly suffered a lot of wear and tear. The changing room was dusty. Toilet door handle kept getting jammed and you had to have someone come open it from the front. The toilet handle (flushing) keeps getting jammed. Just run down items such as the kitchen door. Sheets were dirty and The one that is the biggest issue though is the hole in the floor in the bedroom on the first night my partner tripped on this and has actually suffered a pretty bad bruise to her foot.

Within walking distance to pub and shop.

We had to clean the garden furniture before we could use it. Bathroom door catch was sticking. No catches on bedroom doors. The booking confirmation stated 'A damage deposit of GBP 250 is required. The host charges this 14 days before arrival. This will be collected by credit card. You should be reimbursed within 14 days of check-out. Your deposit will be refunded in full via credit card, subject to an inspection of the property' However we were obliged to pay £300 prior to our stay and have been advised that only £290 will be refunded within 14 days. Surely property owners should have their own insurance.

Beautiful cottage, lovely location, free parking, pet friendly. Nice and quiet neighbourhood, next to a small shop for anything you need to buy. Comfy beds, high quality furniture and blankets.

There's additional non refundable deposits on top of what you see in the price here and they don't give you the code to the lockbox to enter the property until you pay it, even though we paid the fee for staying all the nights in full alreayd so they had full payment but still withheld the keys. You need to pay either £25 non refundable or pay £250 and they charge you a £10 admin fee to manage it, so you basically pay £10-25 non refundable. We didn't realise this until a few hours before arriving and then they took a lot of chasing after we paid it to give us the code to the lockbox for the property keys. There was also only 1 toilet paper and we ran out, quite ungenerous for a such a cheap thing.

Loved the vintage sofa company vibe , dark and moody

The walls could do with fresh coats of paint and the door into the kitchen had by the look of it scratched to bits by a dog. Bath panel was sticking out showing a dirty slick on the top.

The cottage was in a great location a short walk to the local shop and pub which served gorgeous food and was friendly and welcoming. Also close to otterburn mill where we had a lovely lunch.

We took our dogs and the garden although enclosed was separate to the house but this was easily overcome.
