The house is generally found to be spacious and comfortable, suitable for families and larger groups. However, some guests mentioned steep stairs and issues with heating control, slightly reducing the comfort score.
Facilities have been a point of contention, with guests suggesting improvements such as clearer instructions for appliances, a tumble dryer, and better maintenance. Positive notes on provided amenities balance the score to slightly above average.
The welcome basket and Christmas decorations were well-received, indicating thoughtfulness from the hosts. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should consider them a pleasant bonus rather than an expectation.

.couldn't change the temperature for the heating. My mom would have liked a hair dryer at the Property but overall we had a good week..obviously it was a change of property at last minute which unfortunately cost me an extra £160.

There were a few things we struggled with, one being the fridge door and cupboard door opening opposite ways. The wire for the TV ariel was trailing on the floor. Other than that we loved the house and location.
