David
The open fire is lovely and cozy. When we first arrived the whole house was covered in flies, by day three we had got rid of the majority of them. Beds were lovely and comfy. We did find that the heating did come on in parts of the house, however the radiator in the lounge was cold and the fire in the lounge didnât work, we compromised and brought the electric fire from conservatory in the lounge. All in all we had a lovely stay.

It has absolutely everything catered for. We have an additional needs son who likes his own space so this is the perfect property for us with 3 different sitting areas. It is so quiet and away from hustle and bustle so is just perfect for us. We will be back next year. Thank you

Reported a gas smell, took three days to respond. Asked for help pre arrival for nearest electric charging point to get a response we are in the middle of the countryside and no guidance. For reference one 3.1 miles away and one 9 miles away. Furniture tired, grub and seating even has nails protruding out of the seat. Owner doesnât respond to messages when you need help. Had scary incident, dismissed again by owner, at 01:30 of someone watching our cars. We left properly early. Skyes and owner didnât help us at all.
