  • Staying away for the first time with baby, and our first time away anywhere in well over a year.

    The mattress at the cottage has crippled me. Nothing like waking up on the first day of your holiday feeling like you’ve fallen down a flight of stairs.

  • I dont understand how ppl can cheap out on one of the most important components of a business where people are paying to sleep in your property for sake of a couple hundred quid.

    decent reviews would recoup any increased outlay in a few bookings.

  • It’s a funny one, as it’s a place my grandparents bought about 35 years ago. It recently had some work done, but the bed we erroneously chose appears to have a fairly vintage mattress. There’s a big complicated thing about trying to use it at a holiday let, but tbh there’s so many issues like the mattress that would probably spell disaster if people actually paid to stay here.

    Just remembered that the last time we stayed here a few years back we actually bailed to sleep at a pals house not too far away as the bed caused me so much grief, whoops.

  • A friend of ours has a stunning holiday rental on her farm in the peak District. It couldn't be a nicer building in a better location. However, her commitment to keep the 1970s carpets and 25 year old knackered mattresses is something else. Look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves, you see?
