Most of the facilities/equipment were fine. Like other Reviewers we'd have appreciated an additional comfy seat in the lounge. Also an occasional table for the settee area. Main concern was the dangerous toilet seats! All three were loose and slid side to side. Your Cleaner MUST have known about this so it was totally irresponsible to allow guests in to use the property with them like that, resulting in a finger injury to my right hand, and lucky you that no more serious injuries resulted, especially with an 80 year old in our party. To your credit, the seats were rectified the following day, but only after the stress of my having to contact you, through your emergency number....and an email. It is also a fact that by the time guests have occupied the properties you manage, often on a Friday, and discovered problems, your office is closed....for the weekend! It was a nice touch to find various spices & condiments in the kitchen cupboard & the makings for a cream tea. Nice.

It could be improved with a rug and coffee table in the lounge area and a few pictures on the walls. The garden was a little unkept and would benefit from a few plants. However, overall it suited our needs very well. The milk, tea and Cornish Fairings were much appreciated.

Also very convenient short walk to railway station. House was very clean on entry, beds very comfy. Good showers in bathrooms. House was pretty well equipped but would benefit from a washing line in garden. Description stated garden furniture but only 2 foldaway camping chairs. Has full size dishwashers but more needed as need to put dishwasher on half full. Also a coffee table/ side table would be beneficial. Tea, coffee, biscuits,milk dishwashers tablets, tea towels etc were good. Would have preferred a blind on kitchen window for added privacy. All in all a good property in an excellent position.
