On the whole, we had a nice stay at Jackie’s place. The cottage is light, has good amenities and is in a good location off the main road in between a pub and a curry house.
My one gripe is that this cottage does not sleep 6. There is only 1 king sized bed, two single beds and two armchairs that that fold flat.. (with a downwards slant.) There are no sofa beds in the cottage. We are a family of 5. When we arrived, the armchair (one of the ‘beds’) was folded out with just a sheet covering it. No effort had been made to make it more comfortable. The buttons could be felt through it as could the joins and the chair was rock hard. My son had to sleep in the king sized bed with us the first night and in the morning we had to order a mattress topper to be delivered. On departure, I contacted Jackie to tell her about the chair. She was apologetic and offered to change the listing to reflect my comments. She did not offer to cover the cost of the mattress topper, which I found disappointing. She also said that she would change the listing but as I look at it now, it is the same. Hence, I’m writing this review to warn potential users that this cottage currently only sleeps 4.
The chair really marred an an otherwise nice stay. Morningside is lovely, the parking can be a bit of a headache but as long as you’re prepared to get up early for 8 to move the car, you can park outside the cottage from 6.00 in the evening. Otherwise, there is parking in roads about 5 minutes walk away or you can park in Waitrose for an hour and a half.
