Host & Stay - Greengate Cottage

Location fantastic. Clean and very comfortable

As a multi generational family group of 8, we were very comfortable at Green gate Cottage. The village is exceptionally beautiful and everything we needed was within walking distance. We felt like we were staying in a storybook setting.

The only thing we could think of was that a couple more tea towels would have been great.

Comfortable home for up to 8 guests in an ideal location for walks and sightseeing. Plenty of good pubs and cafes nearby.

The property was excellent and a perfect base for a family of eight. It was close to amenities and well equipped. Comfortable beds and very clean

There was nothing not to like about this wonderful property

The games cupboard was really appreciated.

The previous tenants had left dirty oven trays on the oven.

Keys were in the lock up and the code had been sent prior to my arrival. The property was clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and towels and linens provided. There were instructions for everything which was very handy and the village is very quaint!

We came and stayed, but there were a lot of disappointments.

A few things were disappointing: 1. The bathrooms: there are two full bathrooms and one additional toilet. The upstairs shower had zero water pressure and no removable shower head so we couldn't rinse the bottom of the shower cabin, but the water wasn't draining anyway so we stopped using it. Hot water was supposed to be on demand but wasn't - it was disappearing mid shower or not heating up at all until we discovered a boost mode on the thermostat. It would have been nice to know. 2. Facilities in the kitchen: small fridge considering the house fits 8 people, freezer with broken drawers. Sticky plates and cups in the cupboards. We had to wash everything before we used it. Scratched old pans that aren't safe to use anymore. Oven, hob, microwave all have seen better days and either burned food or undercooked it. 3. We found a card in the kitchen saying everything was cleaned with two names signed, but there were spider webs everywhere around stairs and ceilings, again sticky equipment in the kitchen. 4. Security deposits are paid, but things broken or ignored by previous guests aren't being replaced. No one checked that the coal wasn't filled, games were broken etc. What is this money going for? 5. You get one single key to open the house, which is fine, and a set of keys is in the bowl in the kitchen. One key was broken, the rest of the keys didn't open or close anything. We tried them on different doors since no instructions were given and we couldn't find a single match. The room with single beds has a door to another bedroom and that door wouldn't stay closed so it'd be nice to be able to lock it, because we had to barricade it with a chair. 6. Extremely squeaky beds. With all doors closed we could hear people in different bedrooms turning. 7. It says some extensions were installed for the WiFi, but the signal doesn't actually reach all the bedrooms. Those are just a few that came to mind.

It was roomy enough for all my family.

Location was good , and quite after a busy day out.

Location and bedrooms were good, and the facilities were fair

The smell of the oil from the heating was really bad, and the step down from the hall to the kitchen causes problems with guests who have poor mobility. There are no cupboards for food as too many cupboards full of glasses etc. The table and chairs at the back of the cottage were very dirty.
