We were 4 adults but equipped for 6 and easily enough space for six. The wood burner starter kit is a nice touch as the building is grade 2 listed so can feel a little cold upstairs when it has been empty through the day. Quickly warmed up with a tweak to the heating or using the log burner. Driveway spacious easily fits 2-3 cars which is a bonus with such a large property. We had some mis-communication regarding use of out door plug so it would be useful if this was on the information sheet inside the property. Maintenance also needs to access the garden area regularly to water the plants of the buildings in the surrounding area, it would have been polite to know this to avoid us being concerned that someone was accessing the outdoor space with not so kind intent. Overall though great property in a lovely location with a super pub next door.

Drainage hole iced up. Seats on dining chairs not fixed. Shaving mirrors not working in two ensuites. No 13 amp plugs for hair dryers near mirrors. Electric radiator not working in main bedroom/north end. No heated towel rail or facilities for towels in twin room. Picnic table in poor repair. Would not book this property again.

La disposition des pièces peut surprendre avec les chambres au rez-de-chaussée et les pièces à vivre à l'étage mais permet de garder une température plus fraîche dans les chambres.
