| Cottage Review: Our first family holiday for 5 years and what a great disappointment this cottage was. Initial impressions were that it was quite dirty and basic. The front door lock didn't work, so security from the High Street was two tiny bolt locks. I'd asked the owner specifically if the garden was enclosed, she said it was, it wasn't and led directly via a small path onto the main road, not relaxing when you have a 3 and a 2 year old. My main concerns with this cottage was that for small children it just wasn't safe, the supposed third bedroom is a loft room, which is reached via a step ladder after going through the main bedroom. This room was hugely damp, and the 3 beds in it were squeezed in so tightly you couldn't get between them. My eldest son slept in here, grudgingly. My other 3 children slept in the twin bedroom, obviously with a travel cot in there, that was a little short on space also. No locks on the windows, and yes my youngest daughter thought it was great to open these and peer out. I had to buy a stairgate to put in this room, as the rather open staircase to the ground floor was also a hit and miss affair, and also had a small cupboard containing a stanley knife and other delightfully child friendly items. Everything was stained, cobwebs aplenty, two tin openers, neither worked, a broken toaster. And the icing on the cake, an ants nest in the lounge, so we had a lovely parade of ants across the lounge wall all week, with a large quantity of ant powder on the floor, super. Oh and the cottage is opposite a large pub/venue, with live music on Friday and Saturday nights. The noise went on till about 1 in the morning. After a 5 hr drive was a little unwelcome. Blakeney itself is a wonderful place, lots to do, brilliant food and excellent croissants at the local deli. | |||||||||||||||||||||
