“This was our third visit to Mill Pond.”
This year it was a lot cleaner than last year and it serves us well. Positives are its layout works well, its location is ideal and it is quiet and relaxing and warm. However, the pervasive smell of damp is still a problem in the double bedroom and the quagmire of a garden means it cannot be used when it’s wet.

This year it was a lot cleaner than last year and it serves us well. Positives are its layout works well, its location is ideal and it is quiet and relaxing and warm. However, the pervasive smell of damp is still a problem in the double bedroom and the quagmire of a garden means it cannot be used when it’s wet. The demands at the end of the holiday including stripping beds, cleaning and taking bins out to receptacles that are not nearby, do leave a sour taste though and take away from the relaxation of a holiday. The lack of a welcome pack and not leaving sufficient logs, for example, for a first fire are also a little mean/tight. To improve, address the damp, revisit the welcome pack and, whilst it’s fair to expect guests to leave the premises tidy, consider the impact of asking for excessive housework (especially in the presence of leaving demanding notes on laundry bags that don’t say please or thank you).
