    Response from the owner
    I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay at the cottage and that you found it to be well-equipped as this is something which we have tried hard to ensure for our guests. I'm sorry that you had problems with the bathroom's location, but, as the cottage is 400 years old and listed, the bathroom has to be in the extension to the property. However, I can assure you that the bath is just of normal height and there is a slip mat in the cupboard outside the bathroom (it is listed on the itinerary in the folder on the dining table); there is also a window sill and a handle on the shower screen which could provide hand holds when entering or exiting the shower; I do appreciate though that any shower over a bath is not as convenient as a walk-in shower unit. With our best wishes, Kathryn and Derek.

    Response from the owner
    Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you weren't more satisfied with your stay at Larksworthy Cottage and have acknowledged your complaints; our cottage management team is usually very efficient at ensuring that everything is working and clean. We are rather disappointed that the decor is described as only being "adequate" as we have had the downstairs completely redecorated in the last four months. Also, we had it checked for damp and it definitely isn't so, as you suggest, the smell must just be its 400 years of history. Although you felt that the cottage was small, I can assure you that, having stayed in many holiday cottages before we bought Larksworthy, it is actually spacious by comparison with most two bedroom cottages, especially the older ones, and I believe the photographs to be an accurate representation of its size.
