Host & Stay - Lowcross Cottage

Lowcross Cottage is attractive, spacious, well appointed and maintained.

However, there are a number of shortcomings in the kitchen that detract from the overall high quality of the accommodation, namely; a: the oven is very dirty and quite worn b: the pots and pans need a thorough cleaning c: as the cutlery and glass ware has been lost or broken over time it has been replaced by none matching items so that complete sets no longer exist. They need to be replaced with completely new sets as this would much improve the visitor experience at meal times. Toiletries in the shower room would have been appreciated. (As has been the case in most of the other self-catering accommodation in which we have stayed).

The property is nice and has just enough for your stay

- only gave us half a toilet roll for 4 nights, we had to go and buy more and more hand wash and other bits like that as they were all empty - really unclean, floor was covered in mud, dog hair, crumbs - dirty plates and utensils were put back - floor of shower was yellow so not cleaned - hairs in bed and all over sofa - mud marks on spare bedroom door

Everything

Nothing

The property was the perfect size for us and had everything that we needed.

When we first arrived the boiler wasn’t working and so we had no hot water or heating for the first night, however this was sorted the following day by the hosts of the property.

Loved this property, welcoming , cosy and ideal for a little getaway. Location private and beautiful views. The cottage had everything you need with an amazing fire that kept us toasty.

Nothing… all excellent

The house was in a lovely location, and the decor was very nice.

Where do I start! There was a horrible stink in the bathroom coming from the shower that got worse over the weekend. There was a dirty mop in the cupboard that hadn't been bleached. But the worst part was the company they employ, host, and stay. Bombarding us to part with our money with both emails and messages constantly both before and during our stay: hire a private chef, get a Gin delivery, get in earlier for £40 from 11am, then another from 2 till 3 £20. Then, during our stay, if you break anything, you must pay. And if you're not out by 10am, you'll be charged. What can I get out of your wallet basically. It's such a shame it could have been much better An awful uncomfortable time. We were on edge constantly.

Perfectly presented

Directions were not good (especially arriving in the dark)

Location fantastic. Hosts excellent and friendly. The alpacas were fabulous. Property well maintained and had everything we needed.

The bed is rather firm.
