Boutique country hideaway ‘Jacks Cottage’

L’établissement est propre, avec tout le nécessaire pour pouvoir se reposer

Rien

J’ai adoré le côté cosy du cottage et le fait d’avoir un poêle à bois étant donné qu’il faisait froid. Le logement est fonctionnel et bien décoré. La literie était confortable.

Lorsque l’on allume la lumière de la salle de bain il y a un bruit de moteur qui s’enclenche et qui met du temps à s’arrêter et les chambres sont juste à côté c’est un peu ennuyant la nuit. Pas d’étendoir à linge en intérieur lorsque l’on fait une machine on ne peut donc pas étendre le linge c’est dommage.

V Comfortable beds and well appointed - see couple of comments below. Otherwise kitchen and bathroom well appointed and everything else we needed was there and v comfortable for two people.

No toaster which was annoying, dishwasher could have done with instructions and a proper mirror in the one bathroom is kind of essential. Major issue was the parking and being harassed by neighbor and this appears to be a constant issue according to the visitors guest book. Obviously needs sorting out. Instructions for parking at the back didn't make sense and it wasn't clear which space was allocated to the cottage and anyway all spaces taken. Very little lighting in lane at night, so this was the major issue and quite irritating as we had to deal with the neighbor twice and he was trying to create a graveled parking space which was noisy and also too small for our car to easily park in.

Very cosy, warm with heating on but also an excellent wood burner. Full basket of logs, kindling and firelighters. Welcome pack including a bottle of wine. The shower was powerful and plenty of hot water. Well kitted out in the kitchen. Oven was clean (responding to other reviews). Overall cleanliness was good including specifically the bathroom and kitchen. Nice wine glasses. Furniture of high quality. Soft towels. Feather duvets and Pillows. The owner kindly bought a new coffee machine (capsules) prior to our arrival. Attention to detail. Overall exceeded all expectations.

As most people have commented, the parking is an issue. One neighbour asked us to move our car elsewhere and stipulated that Jack's Cottage does not have any designated parking space. Clearly the situation needs to be sorted. However, the owner explained where we should park before our arrival (I didn't park where suggested as I did not feel it was suitable for the large car I had) and continued on that they have legally secured a space on the verge opposite the cottage which the neighbour had to make available. Not sure if this information had filtered through to the local residents. Yes, a space on the verge had be cleared and the rocks removed perhaps to allow a very small car to park, but I didn't use it as I was not sure if it was really a parking space yet or not, and the estate car I had was clearly too big. Sadly didn't eat at the local pub in the evening, as it was way too dangerous to walk along the road to get there - November so very dark early in the evening and the road is narrow and has no pavements. Route across the fields would not have been a viable option either due to the weather and time of year.

Cottage fireplace was cute as hell.

Pictures of potential parking locations would be nice.

Cosy cottage well kitted out for a self catered hideaway for a weekend. Plus a lovely welcome pack with basics and cake and wine. Good shower with plenty of hot water and power. Lots of things to snuggle...cushions, blankets, lots of pillows and warm duvets.

Differing instructions on parking given via message to what it says in the book in the property...as arrived at night in the dark it was hard to tell if had parked in the right place....still not sure if we did. Also, dont try and pull onto the grass verge opposite the property...lots of low rocks that scrape the car. We tried as road is single track and we had started unloading when another car wanted to get past....scraped all lower part of car bumper.

Good location Cosy cottage
