The property had everything we needed and the bedrooms were lovely. The games room was fantastic for our two children. The big, wooden doors were stunning as were the surrounding gardens and landscaping.

Crumbs in the microwave and I washed all of the crockery and cutlery before use as I wasn't confident it had been checked by the cleaner. I also removed a copious amount of hair from the bath plug hole as when I showered, the water wasn't draining away. The owners do not live nearby, so the fault for these problems lies entirely with the company contracted to clean the property between let's. The facilities were good and the furniture and furnishings comfortable.
