Fodol Cottages

everything

The house was very clean and comfortable in a lovely quiet location

Clean, friendly, cosy, quiet and well equipped. A big Tesco is only 10 mins away by driving. Very good space & 4 bathrooms for my stay - 4 adults and 2 kids (5 and 8 years old), three generations.

Great spacious cottages. Clean well equipped for catering , peace and quiet in a countryside location. Kids loved seeing the cows , chickens and pheasants in the surrounding fields and lanes. The views across to the mountains were epic especially the moonrises.

Patio seating area needs step up to it.

It is set I a beautiful rural location.

All was well when we checked in and our stay was ok until Rosa (the owner) text at 10:30pm saying we are making too much noise in the cottage. I politely apologised and said we'd try and keep it down. We thought this is lady must be an incredibly light sleeper since we're in a detached cottage 10 feet away from her house so let's not upset her. We are a large party with kids so naturally there would be noise in the evening when we are in but by their standard it is unacceptable to make noise in the cottage after 10pm! The remainder of our stay was uninterrupted however all the problems began after checkout. We had booked both cottages & on the day of checkout we had to vacate them by 10pm otherwise we would be charged for another day. We woke the kids up early to make sure we're packed & out on time. This isn't a working week we're supposed to be on holiday. I've never come across any place which has such an early checkout anyway, I called Rosa at 10:03 saying we are ready to checkout would you like to inspect the property so that I can put right anything your not happy with, her response even though she lives next door: "Just leave the keys in the lock box, I'll check it when the cleaners arrive." 3 days after checking out I get a snotty letter making personal insults towards us saying things like "You have a low standard of living." and then having the audacity to accuse is of taking a Samsung charger from the cottage (cost £5 from ebay). If we can pay nearly £2000 for a 5 day stay we're hardly going to run off with a charger of all things. As if that wasn't enough we then get accused of breaking a curtain pole and apparently leaving food scattered all over the floor. I personally hoovered Spring cottage so I know for a fact there was no food on the floor when we left. When I asked for evidence of the broken curtain pole she ignored it.
