Mrs Dales
March 2019
A very nice little Victorian house in a quiet cul de sac, conveniently situated for walking into the town.. We enjoyed our stay, as did our two Manchester Terriers and their opportunity to make friends with other dogs on the park just up the road.
Ramsgate is a nice town with some fine buildings and history.
The house was in general clean and well equipped, though can we suggest an ironing board and iron and a squeegee for drying off the shower cubicle would be helpful. A rug and a second side or coffee table in the lounge also as glasses and cups wouldn't have to be put on the floor by anyone not sitting near the table in the corner. The lack of an obvious brochure for the property was unusual, but we eventually found the green unmarked folder two days later, with the first page printed Serenity buried in a drawer in the dining room, along with unopened mail for previous ? occupants, some of which was marked private and confidential ! This folder should be left out clearly in view as with other cottages we have rented. More of this mail was in what we subsequently discovered to be the paper recycling bag, which had been left open in the back yard to be rained in.
The very complicated instructions for what to recycle where could be much better and more succinctly put, a previous person had put a black bag of what looked like rubbish in the blue lidded recycling bin, in that bag were an awful lot of cigarette ends for a non smoking property. When I first let our two dogs out into the yard, I found a small bucket full of blackened brackish water, it must have rained a lot. There was a further bin full of water and a dead orchid in a pot also full of water, sadly beyond rescue. Not wanting the dogs to drink it, I went to empty the water out to discover the bucket was full of a lot of cigarette ends. Pretty disgusting to be honest again in a no smoking property, though I suppose those afflicted with the habit had at least gone outside.
So, in all, somewhere we would return to, but I hope you will take on board the minor criticisms.
