Review of J. T.'s stay in Aug 2022
Guest Comments: We had a great week and we really enjoyed the cottage. Once again - working with your staff in advance was a pleasure - and the cottage exceeding our expectations. However, I feel the need to only the give cottage amenities 4 stars because 6 of our 7 guests complained about the firmness of the mattresses on the beds. I understand that one person's 'hard mattress' will be another person's 'soft mattress' - but in this case, even one of our guests who is renowned for liking a firm mattress found them to firm - and had a challenge falling asleep. It wasn't so big of an issue that we wouldn't rent with you again. (For example - we didn't have this issue last year). However - I felt the need to flag to you that the mattresses were a negative experience for several of our party. The balance of the cottage and the vacation exceeded our expectations.
CCR Reply: Thank you for your comments, and you are correct, mattresses can be challenging especially when they are new and not broken in properly.
