“Asta Cottage is in a fabulous location, within a couple of minutes walk to an amazing beach!”
We were welcomed with a few essentials and a much appreciated bottle of wine and chocolates - a lovely touch.
The cottage is well equipped with absolutely everything you might need in the kitchen - far better than I've come across in other cottages. It also has lots of lovely extras such as buckets and spades, plus all you might want for a picnic. The TV is the biggest I've ever seen and comes with a Sky package.
The lounge is huge and filled with chairs and sofas, so there's plenty of room for everyone!
There were just a small few negatives which, obviously, are subjective but did affect our stay. The heating in the upstairs large en suite room was not working correctly. I did have a conversation with the owner about it which was helpful but didn't solve the problem. I'm no plumber but I believe the radiators need bleeding since they were lukewarm at the bottom and stone cold at the top. The hot water bottles were a nice touch and well needed.
The ground floor en suite bedroom would be perfect for someone with limited mobility - however this is the only bathroom which has an over bath shower (the upstairs bathrooms have walk-in showers). We all agreed that this bathroom would have been much better if it was more accessible.
Overall, we had a great holiday and I would return to Asta Cottage!
Thank you for your nice comments about the cottage - it's good to hear you liked it.
Sorry the actual radiators weren't working and that I did not know about that. We are looking to change the old type radiators as, despite the plumber bleeding them regularly, the fact that they are able to be turned on and off results in issues when this happens. It will need to be during the quieter months when work can be carried out so when guests turn radiators off and on the whole system isnt affected.
The downstairs bathroom did used to have just a walk-in shower which I recently changed for a bath to give more flexibility. Its good to have feedback - I want guests to have a pleasant stay that meets their needs. I will look into updating the description of what is available so guests can get a more accurate picture before they come.
Hope to see you again.
Kind regards
