Some minor maintenance issues are noted, but the overall experience is highly regarded.

The property consistently receives compliments for its cleanliness, with guests describing it as immaculate, tidy, and well-maintained. There is a single mention of cobwebs and a musky smell, but these seem to be isolated comments amidst overall positive feedback.

Guests find the beds and living spaces comfortable, with several positive comments on the quality of sleep and the warmth of the house. There are some remarks about dated decor and a need for more kitchenware, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.

The property's facilities, including the games room and kitchen, are appreciated, though there are suggestions for modernisation and additional kitchen equipment. Maintenance issues like a gas smell and boiler fumes are noted, but the owner's responsiveness to issues is commended.

While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

    An excellent property within a first class location. The quality of the decor and the facilities within the property were extremely good. All this supported by a very competent and charming owner/manager. We have to say that during our stay there were no negative experiences. We highly recommend this property.

    SO VERY ROOMY YET A COSY FEEL. PLENTY OF PARKING. EVERYTHING ONE NEEDS FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY. WOULD DEFINETELY RECOMMEND.

  • Lynn

    It accommodated our three generations easily and was a great base to explore the countryside and stunning beaches. We were very lucky to have a week of sunshine! The house had everything we needed and is lovely and clean. Our only recommendation would be for mirrors with sockets in the two king rooms. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed lots of games around the large kitchen table and in the games room. We all made friends with the cows and sheep in the fields and our dog enjoyed the garden and walks along the country lanes. Not far to travel to get to pubs, shops and takeaways. We’ve had a great time. Thank you!
