No wonder this cottage owner will not spend any money on the property

I,ve booked with hoseasons before and on the one occasion I've had cause to complain they sent me a voucher for a reduction on my next cottage rental

Booked a cottage from Hoseasons in Cornwall around 2008/9.....attached to a working farm, welcomed by the owner with scones/clotted cream and a jug of unpasteurised milk that she told me she could not legally sell but if I wanted more I should knock and ask (for free)...damn but i'd forgot what 'real' milk tasted like until I had a swig

That is a real welcome.
We go to two houses in Llandudno which are always tip top.....there is usually a plate of Bara Brith....or welsh cakes and a tray set ready to make a good cup of tea.
The lady who owns these homes always answers her phone if there is a problem and we love going to her homes.....because they are well cared for and comfortable.....have everything you could possibly need. A real home from home.

Next May we are going back to Lomond View Cottage in Aberfoyle. A cracking cottage which needs nothing doing to it. We have been there twice before and really enjoyed ourselves. We know the owner well now and she has told us that she has upgraded the cottage.She has put in a 42" Smart tv and a new heating system and upgraded her wifi. She has even got 2 of my pics, a red squirrel and a woodpecker on her website.

Frank, when you got places which are so well equipped and run well, it really spoils you for going anywhere else of a lesser standard.
