Super house for friends and family time

Fantastic big house for social time, with a secure garden and lovely local shop. Pretty clean although some window frames were a bit mouldy, but that didn't spoil our stay.

Lovely location, poor upkeep

The property itself is in a stunning location and is a beautiful building. Parking is good and well provisioned. However, overall the house was grimy and poorly cleaned. We found mouldy food detritus in the kitchen, as well as grimy surfaces and cupboard fronts, and bins weren't emptied throughout. The top of the fridge was filthy, and it made a horrendous grinding noise. Lots of crockery was dirty, chipped and mismatched. The dishwasher needed a clean and rinse aid. Theoughout our stay, the heaters simply didn't work. The only way to heat the house was by lighting the fire, which was not massively effective. Individual bedrooms had electric panel heaters which were OK, but not great. We had a 16 month old with us and we were constantly worried about the temperature and cleanliness of the property. Windows in one bedroom were screwed shut - this made the room damp and could not be ventilated. Lots of storage in the house was filled with random junk and detritus. One lamp in bedroom had no bulb in it! There was in general very limited instruction in how to use anything in the welcome pack, which also had food stains in it! Wifi was very poor and only really worked in the living room. As there is very limited mobile reception, you rely on Wi-Fi to enable you to keep in contact! Generally the property felt unloved, dirty and poorly maintained. Considering what a beautiful building it was, and the stunning location and village, it was really disappointing. Sadly at the moment, I would avoid this property until improvements are made.
