Guests that stayed at this property said
The property was generally found to be clean and tidy, with one review specifically mentioning it was immaculate and smelt lovely. However, there were comments about dampness and a musty smell in the wardrobes, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is praised for being quiet, peaceful, and perfect for exploring the surrounding area. No negative comments about the location were provided.
Comfort received mixed reviews. Guests appreciated the quietness and space, but issues with damp bedding and firm pillows were noted. The dampness was significant enough to affect guests with asthma.
Facilities were seen as adequate with some appliances appearing new, but there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for a new shower, microwave, and kitchen equipment. Misleading information about access to a swimming pool and gym also affected satisfaction.
Guests were pleased with thoughtful touches like welcome gifts, which included fudge, shortbread, and sweets. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided consistently.

It should be made clear that there is no access to the swimming pool or gym as this left us disappointed, the description says "enjoys access to a range of on-site facilities". The kitchen could do with a better frying pan and a few microwave proof bowls.

New pillows would be good as we found them to be way too firm. Everything wise was pretty good.

Perfect location for everywhere we wanted to explore. When we arrived the bungalow was immaculate. Clean, tidy and smelt lovely. We had shopping delivered with ease from Sainsburyâs. The neighbours we saw were super friendly. I would definitely recommend and return.
