Wensum Cottage

Its location

The beds were so uncomfortable that I wouldn’t spend another night there. Better to lose money than another bad nights sleep. Lack of anywhere in the bath room to hang a towel whilst in the shower.

Convenient location for our needs, good parking and nice size walk in shower

Musty damp smell on entry. In the kitchen limited storage consisting of an understairs cupboard which was cold, dirty and smelt damp. Nowhere to hang coats when coming in, even though plenty of space to put some hooks up. Lounge was basic, but don't push the door closed as no door handle to open it. The biggest downside, was the stairs, which were steep, narrow, and angled. There is poor quality carpet where you can feel the gripper sticking in your toes. Not a suitable place, in my view, for children, elderly persons with mobility issues, or those with some disabilities. Upstairs, there are four single beds, which seemed like teenager or child sized beds and very uncomfortable with thin, poor quality mattresses. Finally, the heating. Although sufficient and working, it was clear in the house pack that you were not to touch the controls and use the thermostat to turn heating on and off. This, however, made little difference to the hot water heating, so expect to hear the noisey boiler firing up regularly

Good location, Good off street parking, clean, comfortable (in a basic way}, reasonably spacious (for a cottage) Nice open garden. Has character. Everything worked except the heating.

This is an old house and smells of damp when first entering and there is a little black mould in one of the bed rooms. The owner claims it has been refurbished including damp proofing. The heating didn't work to begin with but the owner did come and fix it, however, thereafter the radiators came on every time the boiler fired up to heat the hot water.

the location was perfect for our needs. the size great for 2 adults . parking and wifi great . facilities/utensils in kitchen great . shower perfect . the place indoors was very clean . photos show bowls of fruit and breakfasts etc but this is not a B&B and there were no such items in the property . the table is in the lounge not the kitchen which suited us better.

the dirty doorbell and outdoor lamp. the musty damp smell upon entering. the frayed carpets at doorways (trip hazards) peeling wallpaper ,large damp patch in lounge under the area where the bathroom is ,no door handle either side of lounge door, 1 flickering light bulb which blew leaving 1 light bulb in lounge. we had to replace batteries in remote control (we mentioned this but all I received was a brief thank you message) cheap mattresses very uncomfortable. no wardrobe ,just clothes rail,1 bath towel each and I hand towel to share . cheap toilet paper and no shower/body wash gel in dispenser in shower......... despite all this if the owners can sort out these issues which have been brought up in previous reviews then we would definitely stay again

pleasant location

bulbs missing from the lights in the lounge, made it difficult to read. No hooks or towel rail in the bathroom made it inconvenient with spare clothing.

The bathroom door didn't lock. There was no soap provided. The living room lights kept flickering. There was no arrangements for the heat (AC/fan) and we couldn't even open the window as they were so dirty and there were flies everywhere that would come in if we did.
