My only piece of feedback would be check in and out times could be a little more flexible ⦠3pm is a little late, I think more 1-2 would be better and 10am to check out a tad too soon We will definitely return !!

En-suite bathroom and cloakroom WC need a deep clean (we are towards end of season though). Shower heads were really grungy and toilet seat hinges were not nice as were toilet brushes. Extractor fans In en suite didnât work. Bedding and towels were all really clean. Kitchen didnât need anything that wasnât provided and extremely functional. Owners property file was first class! Garden very sheltered and absolute sun trap with lovely furniture . We could have done with a heads up regarding low flying aircraft (raf valley) very noisy but that was the same all over the area and the train track at the bottom of the garden. Overall a fantastic property just needed a more thorough cleaning but didnât spoil our holiday but donât think it reflected the price
