Good Location for us
We had a pleasant stay in Summer Hayes and the location was perfect for us.
When we were there, the weather was quite cold with frosts at night. The heating in the cottage was more than adequate except for the small downstairs bedroom which was cold. This was not a problem as there was only two of us so we rarely went into that room. On the whole the central heating was good and the little electric âlog-burnerâ stove was very efficient.
Positives: Great location, cosy and warm, spacious kitchen, plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. which was good as we had invited three friends for dinner, so we didnât have to wash up plates half way through the meal. A comfortable bed (we only used the master), good shower plus, our bedlinen and towels were changed half way through our stay.
Negatives: Although there was a decent washing machine/dryer, the outside line didnât work and there was no other means of hanging cloths to dry. Also, no instruction manual for the washing machine. There were two Nespresso coffee machines. One âVertuoâ which was on the counter and an ordinary Nespresso machine in the cupboard. We couldnât find the capsules for the âVertuoâ (we tried Tesco, Morrisonâs and M&S) and the machine in the cupboard was very dirty. Perhaps a couple of daysâ worth of capsules could have been provided to make it easier to buy the correct ones. As it was, we abandoned the coffee machines and had to use instant. The saucepans and frying pans were limited and âtiredâ (loose handle on one of the frying pans).
None of this spoilt our stay, but it would have taken it up to a different level had these niggles been corrected.
Just a note to take into account. The pictures of the living room on the website show two white, smart sofas and an easy chair. What was actually there were three small black sofas, which although not uncomfortable, they werenât great.
