The boot/coat area where you first go in smells very strongly of damp. Our coats smelt if this. The main rooms are very welcoming and once we had the heating up was warm and comfy. The bedrooms are both a great size and the o suits were nice. Although not having a main bathroom makes it difficult for whoever is sleeping on the sofa bed. Itâs advertising 2 sofa beds. there is absolutely no hope of being able to use both. There just isnât room. When we pulled out the sofa bed, it was filthy. It hadnât been hoovered or cleaned for some time. The mattress was pretty good, but marked and needs replacing. Bedding and towels provided for all beds were clean and fresh. Superficial cleaning was ok, but look deeper and this place needs investment in the cleaning. Itâs an old place, so I do expect a few spiders and cobwebs. But the main dinner table needs a very good clean, so do behind the sofas and beds. And a generally good high clean above head highly. Cooking facilities were very good. Everything you need, washer and dishwasher a great addition. Pubs a couple mins walk away along with cafes for breakfast. We would definitely stay again as the cost and location fitted us. But it does needs a bit of an upgrade with the sofa beds and cleaning. And also lack of windows for ventilation made the place very stuffy. But overall a great place.

The placemats had coffee spilt under them on the table. The table had grooves in it and there were crumbs and debris in them, food was left in the cupboards from previous occupants. Black mould was present in the first bedroom and the shower room. We had children coughing through the week and an asthmatic with us who also coughed when in the property.

The place was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities we needed. A great location too.
