Must be an error!

Redglitter · 21/01/2017 13:14

I bet they get a fraction of that if it's let on a nightly basis. Still seems very over priced. It's not particularly special

TheSnowFairy · 21/01/2017 13:15

That is exactly what I thought til I saw the weekly cost!

I always think of a cottage being small and cosy.....that is fucking huge and an awful mix of tacky and original!

MrsBungle · 21/01/2017 13:15

Good grief!

SmilingButClueless · 21/01/2017 13:17

I think they're renting them out as holiday cottages / very short term corporate lets for stupid amounts per night - there seem to be a few priced at significantly more than you'd expect.

(I know Bray is an expensive area, but still...)

Anniegetyourgun · 21/01/2017 13:17

It's not the only one on the list with a massive price, so either there are some VERY expensive short-term holiday lets in the area or one of the local estate agents has a member of staff with dodgy typing and/or numeracy.

OurBlanche · 21/01/2017 13:17

Wait!

The property was added to Rightmove about 20 minutes ago and almost instantly there is a thread about it?

wowfudge · 21/01/2017 13:17

Have you read the description? It's a holiday let. I'm sure the neighbours will be delighted it's being advertised as a party place. Wonder if the mortgage company know? And money certainly doesn't buy good taste, does it?

wowfudge · 21/01/2017 13:18

The OP probably has an alert set up.

BreatheDeep · 21/01/2017 13:18

Reckon it's serviced so it's like staying in a hotel but in a cottage

DianaMitford · 21/01/2017 13:20

I used to live on that road! And got married in Bray church. Tis an expensive area.

TheSnowFairy · 21/01/2017 13:20

Disclaimer: I can assure you I am not an estate agent, and if I was I would not describe anywhere as a 'gourmet destination'!

OurBlanche · 21/01/2017 13:26

Grin I wonder how much Heston paid for that piece of 'art'?

WyfOfBathe · 21/01/2017 13:26

I thought it was a reasonable price for a cottage... until I realised that was per month and not to buy!!

I've no idea where Bray is though Blush and I'm not sure it's really a "cottage" if it's that size.

Oldraver · 21/01/2017 13:27

'gourmet destination' Grin

Our local estate agent uses the words 'boasting' a lot.... 'boasting three bedrooms'. I think it may be general estate agent lingo but it sounds twatty...

GinIsIn · 21/01/2017 13:29

Available for a daily rate of £1250 per night?! For a 3 bed cottage which looks like it was decorated by a 70s porn star?! You can take 3 rooms at the Ritz for less than that a night....

ImperialBlether · 21/01/2017 13:31

It's obviously a mistake!

DubiousCredentials · 21/01/2017 13:33

But that includes a full range of bathing products and concierge service. Bargain therefore Hmm

MatildaTheCat · 21/01/2017 13:35

Probably aimed at corporate events involving dinners at the Fat Duck etc. Certainly not a family looking at a home. So if it's let for a couple of nights per week that's still a tasty income.

Bray is full of Michelin starred restaurants. Quite a gourmet location.
