However, we identified a number of issues that need to be addressed before we could recommend it to our friends or family, as follows: - It was extremely difficult to locate the property in the dark, as the lights on the gates were not in operation and we could not see the litter bin as it was small and black. - The drive was in a state of disrepair due to potholes and an uneven surface. - The parking spaces were sufficient for two cars but were extremely difficult to manoeuvre into due to the trees on the drive. - Ensure that you have provisions when you arrive, as there is no welcome pack of milk, etc, and the local shop closes relatively early! We had to go to Tesco, which is about 6 miles away. - The fridge was very small and did not have the milk bottle holder, as it was missing from the door, which made storage for 5 people very difficult. - There was only enough washing up liquid for one lot of washing-up!! - There was a hole in the lounge wall that looked unsightly. - The sofas were very uncomfortable, with no foot-stools - The shower head in the communal bathroom seemed to have some sort of bag tied around it. - All the beds were very uncomfortable and the mattresses in the Premier Inn we stayed in on the way up were luxurious in comparison. - The en-suite bathroom door could not be properly shut as there was a gap of about 3", which meant that there was no possibility of privacy. - The Highwayman Pub is the only place to eat locally and it is very good. However, it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
