Chaumière / Ferme de 200 ans

thanks for your nice review ...

There is no mentioning of a double bed in this cottage in the ad , so why you take it for granted that there has to be one ,nobody knows…when you asked me why there isn’t one , I suggested to join the 2 single beds in one of the bedrooms and asked you at the time if everything is alright , you replied “All good -no complains” .Somehow this is not reflected in your review,… .I do not see the need to reject all your false claims ,but as you are complaining about a sticky carpet , we must say that in35 years of renting cottages , no-one ever has left the kitchen behind in such a bad state. The grease ,fat , sauces etc. was all over the tiles , sink , oven ,frying pans etc .and it took us 7hours to get the kitchen back into a clean condition.You even put the cuttlery , mugs and plates back into the drawers in a dirty state and at the same time you have got the guts to write such a review .Shame on you!

Dear Andrew , I waited a bit to answer your terrible review of the cottage you have stayed in , but I have to admit that my anger hasn't eased yet . We are renting cottages for 33 years now and I guess we can claim that we must have got a couple of things right , as we are still in business and still enjoying the company of most of our guests.... As I have passed your cottage a few times per day , we had a lot of small chats and ,I have to say , nice ones at that- no sign of any discomfort or even anger-hence my good review of you as a guest . We even agreed on your departure day , that next time around , you should bring a fishing rod , and we both joked about the fact , that permission from your better half most likely wouldn't be granted....Sure I never got the chance to talk to your wife , as she was stuck in front of the TV from early in the morning. . Now , nothing to do with me or the cottage-whatever floats your boat... I have however to set a few things right as ,you are misleading future customers by claiming the property is not suitable for 4 persons , which is absolutely wrong . Beside the fact that you have seen all the photos of the layout and furnishing of the house before your booking , I have to say that there is a reason , you could not sit together on one of the 2 sofas , in order to watch TV and the same reason applies to the fact that you have found it hard to enter the bathroom as the door opens only to 90% . The staircase as such has absolute standard measures and was built by a local carpenter and if you had issues going up and down , you should know best yourself where this " not sure footed "condition of yours originates ... Sure our 216 year old trad.irish cottage can not compete with the splandour and greatness of your own semi detached but talking to me openly about your disliking of our " shabby" furniture , would possibly have answered a few questions that we now have and none of our previous customers have noticed-going by their reviews ....The cherry on the icing however is your claim that the cottage at €22,50 per night and per person is overpriced--no need to comment on this....!
