Response from the owner You were annoyed because dogs had been in the property before you arrived although you had not mentioned to me before booking that your family were allergic. It was a very short notice booking through an agency and we had not corresponded previously. Unfortuanately a family with a dog had only moved out that morning. Considering your problem with dogs I would have expected you to have asked before booking or at least said something when you arrived when perhaps alternative accommodation could have been found. I did not know of your problem until the following day when you told me of your family's allergies and asked for a refund. which was after using the facilities of the cottage including 5 beds, cot and high chair. I certainly did not tell you there were cracks in the walls as there most definitely are not. We had had brilliant sunshine over the New Year and some flies had obviously found a warm spot around the south facing window and some had entered the room when the window had opened or possibly a few may have come in through the trickle vent in the window. With regards to your phone message I complied with all that you had asked immediately after I had received it. There were a couple of unused black plastic bags in one of the kitchen drawers which could have been used for rubbish of any kind. I understand that you were upset because of your family's allergy to dogs but I would not have taken the booking if I had known.

“Cottage Abergavenny”
Accoglienza cortese. Pulizia dell'ambiente cucina con notevoli margini di miglioramento. È consigliabile portare le asciugamani sempre da casa. Scarsa l'attenzione verso il cliente. Prezzo costoso rispetto al servizio ottenuto.

“quiet”
very quiet - had 2 very good nights sleep The hot water is a little temperamental - especially upstairs very near to Abergavenny - we came for the food festival which was amazing The fan in the downstairs bathroom does not work - so it was a little chilly a number of light bulbs were not working - but to be fair we did not tell anyone - we were busy having a good time

Response from the owner I wish you had said something to me while you were here as I do not understand what you mean about the hot water. There is an immersion heater for the general hot water plus the shower has its own electric heater and both are working. I found one light bulb not working after you left which I could have easily replaced if I had been informed at the time.

Swallow Cottage was a great find, tucked away in a really peaceful location, a 10-15-min drive outside Abergavenny. It has three decent-sized bedrooms (the main one with a double bed, a single and a c… More

“Potential to be great, some care and attention needed.”
Great for travellers looking for a rural retreat. The cottage is great, but wasn't cleaned well before our arrival. Bed linen was clean and fresh, but there were a lot of cobwebs and grime in th… More

Response from the owner I am sorry if you did not find the cottage to your satisfaction, however I live just opposite and you did not tell me of any problems. We live in a rural area where there are no shops and we all have to go to town to buy our milk and groceries and most guests bring these with them. However there are fresh eggs for sale at the neighbouring farm.
