Disappointing
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The village!
  : Basement bedrooms and bathroom uninhabitable. Damp smell and nasty smelling water supply. Poor diy/maintenance. Uncomfortable settees. Lack of stair gates, the only one being faulty. V awkward parking.

  : the vehicle access can be difficult when large vehicles are parked on Forest Road. The basement rooms have a damp and musty smell, we only needed to use them for one night so it was not a major issue for us.

  : Cottage was in a great location in the village
  : It was not clear how narrow the entrance to the property was or just how limited the parking was. From the photos it looks possible to park a decent sized family vehicle but we struggled to a)turn in through the archway and b) park. As a property marketed to large groups/families it would be useful to make that clear before booking to make an informed decision, parking on the street or streets nearby is evidently difficult at weekends Also did not appreciate being told to take our rubbish to high street bins or walk it up the high street to behind a pub! I have never heard of a property requesting this in my life, and for the amount charged for the property guests should not be asked to do this, bins should be available. Bi-weekly collections is not an excuse, as a family of four we just about fill our bi-weekly bin and holiday guests do not create general life rubbish as a busy family does. It felt like an excuse to not have to deal with rubbish or bin collections Also, its normal to allow guests to run the dishwasher before they leave and not wait to empty it, we stay in self catered properties 2-3 times a month and have never been asked to do this. It probably explains why we found a lot of dirty glasses and cutlery. The check out instructions felt a bit like a long and excessive list of orders considering that guests are very enthusiastically told how housekeeping will be in promptly at 10am. This isnt a cheap property and is actually a nice place to stay, but the tone of the check out list felt a bit like a tidy your room lecture from mum! The property would also benefit from a few small niceties such as soap in at least one of the bathrooms, and some kitchen spray to wipe down counters (a dribble of disinfectant isnt sufficient). Its a big shame as the property is nice and we probably would have booked it again as we are in Tarporley several times a year.
