    “Overall we weren't impressed.”

    The owner comms were good but the provisions underwhelming - not enough loo rolls (there should have been two extra in each bathroom - spares locked away in the utility room but we had to email the owner to ask where to find them) and no welcome pack provided. The bathrooms are missing some TLC with cracked and moldy seals and taps difficult to use. The beds were comfy and fresh. The welcome book useful.

    The owner comms were good but the provisions underwhelming - not enough loo rolls (there should have been two extra in each bathroom - spares locked away in the utility room but we had to email the owner to ask where to find them) and no welcome pack provided. The bathrooms are missing some TLC with cracked and moldy seals and taps difficult to use. The beds were comfy and fresh. The welcome book useful. We filled the house (the majority female) so access to bathrooms was an issue at times. We had great weather so used outdoors a lot. We were concerned for our grandkids about the drops from both the upper lawn and patio - one had a very close call. We had to repair the outside, metal chairs as a few arms were hanging loose (we found spares in the cellar). If the weather had kept us indoors we would have struggled because (in our opinion) the leisure space is not adequate for the number of bedrooms. However, the living room furniture was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We had planned to use the pizza oven but it was too small to feed us all. We did use the BBQ happily. The location is perfect but parking tricky. We had six cars and one parking space. The are places on the main road and in front of a public toilet - we managed. Takeaway beers from the pub across the road added a pleasant bonus as did picking out of season blackberries! We had a great time but wouldn't return. Not quite big enough for our family - but, I think, we realised it was a compromise when we booked.
