Plenty of dishes, cutlery etc but!! The basics were the big letdown for example the first thing we had to do was clean surfaces and cupboards and there was lots of dog hair and crumbs etc not cleaned up between visitors. A dishwasher but only one tablet highlighted either neglected tasks or poor standards. The mattresses were horrible and so much so we left 2 days early. Not value for money or somewhere we would return to. An honest review without prejudice.

On our first evening we decided to retire early following a long drive, unfortunately during the early hours we were woken up by revellers who we believe had left a local pub, this also happened again over the weekend, the house seems to be a stop off point on the way home. It also seems the property is situated on a dog walking cut through and barking dogs do start fairly early, the late night experience and early morning wake up call did in fact ruin the whole visit. The property we found to be clean and suitable for a couple, unfortunately the lounge did not accommodate our family guests, not enough comfortable seating. A nice touch was a bottle of prosecco and a selection of crisps. We had difficulty opening the sash windows, this led to steaming up in the bedroom, the shower was extremely difficult to operate, extremely hot, very stiff when trying to adjust the temperature. Beds comfy, just not used to a standard double, bedrooms very compact. Some of the door handles were difficult to operate and very squeaky. As we intended to spend a couple of evenings relaxing in front of the TV it was a shame the picture was so dull, I would suggest a new new large screen TV be installed ASAP, it was quite old. The house had a lot of doors to navigate, obviously obviously making it unsuitable for the disabled. Overall our stay was not ideal, we did not contact the owner as we felt our stay could be further interrupted, the few points raised would make the whole experience more enjoyable. The cost for a few days was very expensive, lets see what results from our feedback as we would love to return without the issues raised.
