This is a lovely property let down by general maintenance. Pro’s; Plentiful hot water, very comfy beds, good quality linens and towels, quick wi-fi, well equipped kitchen, comfy seating, location to areas of interest, well stocked local shop.Con’s; Situated on a very busy road and junction, stairs to attic bedroom a lot steeper and narrower than anticipated from the description, the skylight blinds didn’t close, no locks on bathroom doors, very wobbly toilet seats and taps, kitchen window handle broken, no parking, the outside of the property was very untidy with some very big weeds and dirty windows and paintwork, the front door latch didn’t engage properly and required some attention.Also to note that was that the Rooks were nesting in the trees opposite and were very active at around 9pm and 4.30am! We appreciate that this is nature and didn’t cause us an issue but if you were trying to settle younger children it would be something to consider.

Thank you for your detailed and honest review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed many aspects of the stay — including the comfy beds, quality linens and towels, strong Wi-Fi, and well-equipped kitchen. It's also great to know the location and local amenities worked well for your visit. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the areas that need attention. We're sorry that some maintenance and exterior presentation issues affected your overall impression, and we’ll be reviewing these closely with our team to make necessary improvements. Your notes about the attic stairs, bathroom locks, fittings, and front door latch are especially helpful, and we’ll prioritize addressing those for future guests. We also appreciate your thoughtful comment about the rooks — nature does have its moments, and your note will help others make informed decisions, especially those traveling with children. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back to a more polished experience in the future.
