Just looking at the sitting room at Strawtop and reading the comments it seems clear to me that the sofa should be in front of the book case and the chairs by the window. Seeing Charlie perching like a bird on the tub chair just made me think that it’s hard to picture real people actually relaxing in them, especially larger men. And where will all those cushions go when someone actually wants to sit on the sofa? I’ve stayed in lots of lovely and not so lovely cottages over many years and I think having a cream sofa is utterly bonkers. It will only take a slightly grubby dog walking past it or one upturned coffee cup and it will be ruined. My friends used to run a B&B in the Lake District and then when they retired from that used to clean high end holiday cottages for some extra cash and the tales they tell of the state places are left are almost unbelievable. So many people are absolute pigs in rented accommodation no matter how high the price tag, and I hope Strawtop isn’t going to be ruined.
I had to laugh about how snobbish they both seemed about having the TV on view!
And stocking the bookcase with old tomes, I hope there are some more suitable holiday reads going to be included too rather than just old books used as quaint props !
