Host & Stay - Fishermans Cottage

N/A

The cutlery was dirty the floors were not clean nothing to sweep the floor or mop it blood on the wall in the hall 3 steps up went to use the oven but it was very dirty grill tray was covered in old oil and it didn't smell very nice had to wash plates glasses mugs and the cutlery before we could use any of them

The location was excellent

Arrived late and in the dark. No info as to where the door code was. Rang the emergency number only to be hung up on. The key code was at the back of the property. Don’t understand why that wasn’t information offered as opposed to trying to find it in the dark

Convenient to all amenities and cosy

The flooring all downstairs is very cold and toilet needs a good clean and the shower trap needed cleaning full of hairs. No light near back door

Good location

There were problems with the property, the bathroom fan heater did not work, the socket in the bedroom was loose, when the lounge heater was turned on dust and debris fell on the floor and had to be hoovered daily, plagued by moths up to 30 at a time, the tv aerial is laying precariously on the roof. Having to access by the rear door only and there is no light, slipped on the wet inspection chamber cover in the dark. Reported issues which were not resolved, stating the key wasn't left in the key safe, there was no key safe there was a code activated lock on the door.

The location, everything to hand and dog friendly, all the essentials you need

Toilet badly scaled and brown, we attempted to clean, fan heaters not working in the bathroom or kitchen, a light on a sensor needed in the archway for safety, and a small lamp by the back door to see the code lock, 2x dirty mugs, bathroom lino needs scrubbing or replacing, shower trap cover broken, bedroom light now working, floors could do with scrubbing, a mop and bucket would be a good idea, the mattress was a large piece.of memory foam that didn’t fit the bed frame, bathroom sink plug ‘O’ ring needs replacing, hot water cylinder might be scaled up, slow flow. Creaky floorboards are part of the character of the cottage however there are too many especially by the toilet

This property has so much potential to be perfect. It’s old but nice and cozy place

Upon arrival we were not really sure if the place was clean or not. In the kitchen the surfaces were clean. Pots and baking trays were either dirty or not cleaned very well. We avoided using most of them and used only few pots we have cleaned before use. We also had to invest in new knife and vegetable peeler we left at the property afterwards because the original knives and peeler were so dull they were unusable. I would suggest getting rid of the cutlery that are partially plastic as dirt can get stuck in the crevices. Solid metal cutlery can be cleaned more thoroughly and easily. The kitchen would also benefit from being equipped with a broom and a dustpan. We had nothing we could use for sweeping the kitchen floor after cooking. There was a vacuum we could potentially use but the dirt collector compartment of it clearly hasn’t been emptied for some time. Bathroom, similarly as kitchen appeared clean on a first glance. The inside of the toilet is stained brown which has appeared as not cleaned but probably is only a result of over-time buildup that cannot be cleaned by regular cleaning anymore. The shower had water stains on the walls and mold-like stains in corners. We have found a cleaning solution in a cupboard, used it on the corners couple of times and it helped. The bedroom appeared to have fresh bedding that was neatly prepared for us. However we have found additional bedding thrown on the floor of housekeeper’s cupboard along with clean towels. The cupboard itself isn’t clean at all and contains some of the items that seemed to be withdrawn from use because of the state of them. The overhead lamp in the bedroom wasn’t working. We have reported it to the property management and they have reacted appropriately to the situation so I appreciate the friendly approach of the staff. We have spent some time sourcing power for the bedside table lamps provided as they were unplugged from their well hidden outlets.

the location was Good

The cottage needs some T L C .Decor not great shower not easy to get into .Need to tell people about the pub opposite load noise nightly .NOT GREAT .THe cottage fells un loved .

Excellent location. Literally a minute from the sea and The Red Lion - an exceptional pub: best in Cromer imho. Comfortable bed and plenty of storage.

The stairs, obviously but that’s highlighted in the details. The door resists opening - shame there isn’t a key in a key box. Net curtain at the front would be nice and an oven glove would be helpful. Proper tea towels please and a decent pair of kitchen scissors.

Location

Grease on the Pans. Water in the kettle. Mould in the bedroom
