People sat on the right hand tv had to click their neck to watch the tv.. There was a large area in the Bay Window which would have accommodated the TV. The property was for eight people ,but there wasnât enough seating in the lounge. The same in the dining area. The position of the property is perfect for the high st The lane was sometimes noisy with delivery vans. On arrival we were faced with lots of large waste bins In the lane . But due to its easy access to the High St we would return

The grandchildren enjoyed the garden. Locks on the bathroom doors would be beneficial. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children, if we all wanted to watch tv it was quite dufficult for everyone to see the screen. Although a brush was provided it would of been nice to have a hoover.

I had booked to take my doggie but unfortunately I had to have her put to sleep in July but I would have really struggled to keep her from going on the grass so not sure the property can be classed as dog friendly when signs all over saying No Pee or Poo. Stairs are quite steep think that should be pointed out in description . Also showers could do with a shower mat ...I had taken my own fortunately. Think more information on eating places and places of interest would be helpful. But none of these comments take away the fact we had a great holiday and the property is beautifully decorated, furnishings etc good quality and make a homely atmosphere.
