And all of a sudden our first season is nearing its end…
The busyness of the first part of the year lulled as our first guests arrived and the agents and our fantastic team of cleaners took over from our previously very hands on approach.
Our first guests arrived in early June, while we still had time to make those last minute adjustments. Then we have had a full house for all of July and August which has exceeded our expectations for a first year of letting.
In general things have gone very well and from most of the feedback we’ve had people have enjoyed the house, aided of course by the fantastic weather we’ve had for most of the summer. Those who knew the house of old have loved the renovations and new features – particularly the wetroom :-). The addition of the washing machine and tumble dryer has also helped as families come back with beach-sodden towels and clothing. Other comments have been that the kitchen is well equipped, the cleaning has been excellent (with one hiccup when a guest brought 2 very hairy dogs) and that children have had a lot of fun, particularly in the attic bunk room…. (and, I heard, in the airing cupboard!).
So now the summer season is drawing to a close. We still have a few bookings in September but thereafter we’ll be able to take private bookings again, until 30th April. Our rates can be found on the bookings page – but if you’re looking for summer dates next year, please hurry as we’ve only got 2 weeks left for private hire!
