Mayfield review
It was as expected, ie a cosy cottage in a remote but quiet location. Ideal for relaxing in peace and quiet
Primrose Lodge Stay - July 25
Lovely cottage, small and cosy with everything you need for a relaxing break, set in beautiful open countryside. Ideal base for visiting local places of interest and tourist attractions. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend. A very enjoyable stay.
Quirky
On arrival to the property first impressions were very good, it was a beautiful hot day so I went round and opened the windows and doors, on opening the windows and doors the inside cavities need cleaning as they are dirty with muck. The dishwasher had not been checked and didn't work, I was left three quarters of a toilet roll for a week, so ensure when going that you take some with you. The cottage itself is nice. The time that I stayed there roadworks were being undertaken by the water board and one road in was closed, it would have been nice to have been informed about the inconvenience. I did find to access the property was better off the A267 between Mark Cross and Mayfield signed posted Lake Street
