    “We stayed at Chomley cottage for a bank holiday break.”

    The cottage is spacious for two guests & we enjoyed watching some films on the large TV, only issue is the sofa does not accommodate watching it very well. We appreciated having a separate dinning area, but the paintwork could do with a refresh due to a number of marks on the walls. The private parking space just down the road was very useful. The kitchen is well appointed but unfortunately there was only one tea plate so we had to share. The bed was nice and comfy, supportive but not too hard ...

The kitchen is well appointed but unfortunately there was only one tea plate so we had to share. The bed was nice and comfy, supportive but not too hard. The bedroom needs a deep clean as it was very dirty behind the bed & to each side, plus huge cobwebs. Rest of the cottage was relatively clean and tidy. As it says on the listing the cottage is situated on a busy road but the traffic noise did not bother us. Even with the traffic the little enclosed garden would have been nice to sit out in for a coffee but it was really dirty and unkept which was a shame. Appreciated the clawfoot bath for a soak but as no separate shower, just a shower head attached to taps it would benefit from a shower curtain of some sort. It was a little unusual to have two key safe boxes. The keys are in the front door one but although there is a front door key you cannot open that door from outside, you have to take the keys round to the back door. You can open the front door from the inside with a bit of effort, but not lock it & leave, that has to be done from the back. The bridge Inn pub just down the road was welcoming and served good food. All in all a pleasant stay but the cottage and garden could do with some TLC.
