What could have been a splendid holiday cottage was ruined for me due to the very poor double bed/mattress. Lumpy, no support and the springs can be felt whilst lying on it. A decent bed is integral to any holiday accommodation. I did note a previous comment on the bed in June so why it hasn’t been addressed is also of concern. Perfect location but a spoiled opportunity to enjoy my holiday.

Once again another wonderful week at 1 Chapleton Cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy when we arrived, and has everything you need for a lovely relaxing stay. It is fully equipped with everything you would need. The double mattress is now beyond its best and could do with replacing, it’s a bit lumpy. Some hooks on the rear of the front bedroom door would be handy. The toilet flush handle needs looking at, it sometimes took a couple of presses for it to flush. The cottage is in a beautiful location, with lots of wild birds on the feeders. We have stayed at the cottage approximately 10 times (or more), which speaks volumes as to how nice it is. AND we can take our dog who really likes the enclosed garden, and saying hello to the cows!
