The house inside was excellent , the location again excellent , although on a busy road and parking was difficult 😳. Downside the yard was dirty and overgrown with weeds . Couldn’t sit out because of that reason . Wouldn’t take much to power wash it and spray the weeds occasionally 😳and wipe the window sills down maybe a lick of paint wouldn’t go a miss .

When we arrived we noticed one of the childrens beds was broken. It was difficult to get anyone from the office (granted it was a bank holiday) but ended up having to ring the emergency number to sort it. It was fixed extremely quickly which was a blesing.
