  For a cottage that will accommodate 4 people, there were only 2 chairs in the garden.

  The garden was overgrown and had an upturned wheelbarrow as a back gate which our dog nearly lept over. There was no welcome information left for us which would have been nice. There was an innocuous looking basket on the floor in the sitting room which contained some details about the local area - we didn't notice this until the last evening of our stay. This would have been better served if it were left by the visitor book. It would have been nice to have some history of the cottage i.e. age, original use, old photos etc. This could have been made as a wall hanging or even just some laminated sheets left on the table for occupants to read. The bolt off the bottom half of the stable door was missing which meant we couldn't leave it open for ventilation as the dog would dissappear into the insecure garden. The cottage has potential but the owners need to invest more time & effort into it

  Very steep stairs to first floor and steep stairs to main bedroom not mentioned in property details although uneven floors are which is good.

  The property should not be described as having 2 bathrooms as there is only one bathroom and a very small en-suite shower room. Very disappointing to find that the pub mentioned in the details is closed which was very inconvenient as we’d planned to eat there and having to do food shops took time out of our holiday. Having said all that the cottage was well equipped with quality white goods and oven and the bedding was spotless. The milk and bread which was provided for our arrival was most welcome and a lovely surprise to find. We didn’t use the garden but it was exceptionally pretty and had lots of birds which was pleasing. I would like to suggest that a hairdryer would be a very useful item to offer. All in all a great little cottage in an extremely quiet area close to A303 and A30 and considering the cottage is terraced there was no noise nuisance from any of the other cottages.

  Cottage was pretty much as expected from a 19c building it was quite dark that was expected.

  Very clean but wardrobes were musty and didn't want to put clothes in them. Lovely cottage garden but becoming overgrown, and where was the gate! Info stated enclosed garden. We all know, no garden is 100% get out proof but garden lead onto shared space with neighbour and I'm sure they wouldn't want dogs in their garden. Also the A303 was not far from back garden, scary if dogs got out. Just to point out there was little or no info about places and local walks etc. Owners do usually leave a little something eg milk or bread but nothing at all except an empty basket saying welcome! Think theymust be new to renting.

  We loved our stay at Red Roof again, but we were very disappointed to find that the jamming kitchen door from the stairs had still not been planed-back (after we reported this last November!

  ) to ensure that the door closes without jamming shut! Also, one of our dogs escaped through the rear garden latch gate, because the latch doesn’t work at all and the gate has been put on the wrong way round…the gate should open inwards towards the garden, not outwards. If this had been installed the correct way round, our dog would have found it very difficult to escape towards the A303 dual carriageway, even if the latch didn’t work! It scared the living daylights out of us while we tried to find our dog in the pitch black, thinking the worse that our beloved Ollie had run out onto the A303!

  Overall we really loved the cottage but there were a couple of small issues.

  We searched on the website for 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom properties expecting there to be a toilet in both the bathroom and the ensuite shower room though we acknowledge that there was no mention of a WC in the shower room in the general description. Maybe there is a structural reason why the shower room could not be made a little bigger to include a toilet and basin despite there being ample room in the bedroom? Also, for a cottage advertised as sleeping 4, there was seating for only 3 people in the lounge, not for 4 as was implied by the pictures on the website.
