About our reviews

“Few Hiccups at First but overall enjoyable stay”
Had to clean cottage for 2 hours upon arrival as staff had not completed the cleaning, not hoovered up anywhere or cleaned/mopped the kitchen floor, there was that much cereal debris left on the floor, also dining room chairs were dirty and the settees needed hovering too. Full bin bag left inside the cottage. The electricity in the kitchen/dining, living room and the shower upstairs for the last 3 nights kept tripping out and would not come back on until the following morning. We did not have all the lights on or appliances, so there must be a fault somewhere. If the cottage had been cleaned properly I would have rated this cottage as good but upon first impressions it did put me off. You could not go out of the door from the lounge upto the outside steps as there were damp leaves about 6/8 inches deep so it would be dangerous to step out and the wooden seating up the steps was all broken so there was no seating area. The bathrooms and bedding had all been changed and were very clean. The location and facilities within the cottage are good and we did enjoy our stay once we had cleaned it ourselves.
Reply from Wetheral Cottages at 18 Aug 2017
I am sorry to hear about the mess that you encountered when you arrived at the cottage. The current caretakers / cleaners have ended the contract on the 9th of August and are in the middle of moving out of Wetheral Cottage, your cottage was the last cottage that they had to clean before the new contractors took over on the 9th August. They charged us the full amount for cleaning the cottage but did not tell us that you had checked in with the cottage in an unsatisfactory condition. We have subsequently paid them for cleaning the cottage before receiving this review from you. Prior to them quitting they had done a good job and the new contractors have a very good reputation. If you read the reviews of other customers you will see that we have a very good reputation for cleanliness and can assure you that if you visit us again you will not have the same problem.
