Chairs in conservatory dusty. Clocks didn’t work except one.
Location was nice I recently booked a stay at "Windles" in Huntingdonford through Host & Stay for a group of eight, including small children. What was advertised as a cozy, well-equipped, non-smoking retreat was a disaster from the moment we walked through the door. The Reality of the Property: The Smell: Despite being a "non-smoking" house, the entire property—including the bedrooms—stank of stale cigarette smoke. This is a health hazard for kids and an absolute dealbreaker for non-smokers. The "Cozy" Atmosphere: We arrived to a freezing house. The fireplace featured in the listing? Broken. We were told we couldn't use it, leaving us with no secondary heat source and a very cold living room. The Kitchen Fail: We were a group of 8. The host provided exactly one small frying pan and one small saucepan. Cooking a family meal was impossible. There were also zero cleaning products provided, despite being listed. The BBQ: was missing and They did arrange a tiny replacement after we checked and complained, but it was not what was advertised. The "Customer Service" Fail: After complaining, Host & Stay’s "resolution" was to offer me a 20% discount on a FUTURE stay. Why would I pay more money to a company that failed so fundamentally to provide a clean, warm, and equipped home? They even tried to claim the cigarette stench was "residual smoke" from the fireplace—the same fireplace they told us was unusable! Summary: Do not trust the photos or the descriptions. Host & Stay does not maintain their properties to the advertised standard and their "goodwill" is just a marketing tactic to get you to book again. Avoid. #HostAndStay #TravelWarning #BookingCom #WindlesCottage #BadExperience #CustomerService
