Had to call due to a problem was sorted within 1 day. I put the stay at a 4 only because, we felt the shower needs a non slip floor. Also hand rail both sides of the stairs. We loved the location never a problem parking. Short easy access to town.

The shower needs to be looked at. It takes ages to drain the water away and it would be helpful if there was a soap and shampoo shelf or basket within the shower. The location was very good and the rooms were very spacious. The kettle should be replaced and the outside space, although it was advertised as just a bare yard, was exactly that and the back door mat needs replacing. We felt it could be made to be a super house but needs some cash throwing at it, but then the owners could charge more for it. A catch 22 situation.
