“Just wanted to give you a little feed back my our experience at Morton Cottage.”
Over all we have had a fine stay here, the holiday village set up is nice, very pretty and peaceful. The cottage looks very beautiful, the inside looks set out nicely with the open plan design.
However there were a few things which did let our stay down. Our daughter is 3 and she has quite a phobia of crawling things, so every morning coming down stairs to approximately 30 ants running around the dinning area really wasn’t ideal (no food had been left on the floor etc, we brushed up every evening), we couldn’t work out what was causing the influx every morning, there is a considerable gap between the front door and frame so I can only imagine they come in through there.
A holiday is so lovely to get away from every day pressures and stresses, having no signal on our phones was very nice, completely understandable that this is more than likely part and parcel of Cornwall, however the cottage also lacked and WiFi, which again is nice to have that break from any reality but not being able to make or receive a single phone call unless walking to the top of the complex was far from ideal. I think a small amount of internet access would have made the world of difference, that peace of mind that I would be able to hear from home if somebody needed me. It wasn’t advertised that Morton Cottage had WiFi, but equally if wasn’t suggested that it didn’t either.
Just a quick note incase the house keepers / owners aren’t aware the lounge lights when the dimmer switch is pressed a sparking noise is heard and the light flickers. This resulted in interference with the tele and radio also, so potentially an electrical issue here somewhere.
Lastly just a very small point, loved how this Cottage seemed to advise it was child friendly with the toys, games and ‘treasures’ in the cottage, the high chair and cot bed use. Which can be so hard to find and seemed ideal so the little ones wouldn’t need to take a whole cars worth of toys to keep them entertained in the evenings.
Although this was very much the truth, there were also so many lovely ornaments everywhere. Which I completely understand makes the place look homely and adds to the character etc but my gosh was it hard work stoping any thing from getting dropped, pulled off, and generally played with that didn’t need to be.
Although we still enjoyed our first family holiday, and have a new found love for Cornwall and will most definitely be back, we won’t be heading back to Morton Cottage with my young family, no criticism intended here just simply wanted to give some feed back from a family with young children, which I felt this cottage was advertised for.
