Don't go there if it is going to be cool in the evening. Fireplaces are for decoration, not use.

I have just returned from our stay at your property which was pleasant, albeit bitterly cold at night and there were a few issues that we need to point out: Once we had had a quick look around we noted the following and I did try to call the owner on his cellphone at 12:54 on Saturday 24 June but unfortunately it went directly to Voicemail. 1. The property is advertised on the website as having underfloor heating which there is none. 2. There are fireplaces in both downstairs bedrooms and the open plan lounge/dining area, all for decoration and having signs not to use. There is an old-style electric heater in Bedroom A, an electric oil fin heater in Bedroom B and a small gas heater in the lounge. There are tiles throughout which makes the house very cold. 3. In Bedroom A the left blind runner is totally broken and to open the blind it needs to be hand rolled. The right blind cable is broken but does work. 4. Bathroom A ─ soap dish is hanging off the wall. 5. Bathroom B ─ Bath tap does not work properly. 6. Carpet on the lounge floor is fraying badly at one end and looks very shoddy. 7. The beds had a duvet and a very thin throw blanket. Electric blankets should be provided.

Midlands Cottage 's response

I am sorry that you were disappointed, but as you can see we always get excellent reviews there at this lovely home.
I missed your call on Saturday for some reason, but if you had left a message I would have returned your call and provided all the information you were requesting without a problem.
There is underfloor heating in the bedrooms. I would have told you how to switch it on.
The fireplaces are gas operated and we ask guests to rather use the electric heaters as we have a thatch roof, and if guests go out and leave them unattended, this becomes a safety issue. The same with electric blankets so we do not provide them.
I could have explained this if I had received a message instead of just a missed call from you. You probably saw that there are several gas bottles there for the stove as well as the fireplaces.

Great location, lovely views but best for 4 people only.

Although it technically does sleep 6, the two bedrooms that share a bathroom are up a very steep staircase with narrow steps - not suitable for the elderly, frail, very young children or anyone afraid of heights. The rooms are quite small and do not have much of a view. However the two en-suite downstairs bedrooms are fantastic - very spacious, comfortable and with beautiful views. The kitchen was well equipped with a big oven and gas stove. The sparkling pool looks over the green hills and is a great place to spend a hot summer's day. We would definitely recommend it as a four sleeper.
