The door into the garden once opened needs a lot of help from outside to get it shufridge/freezer needs replacing. A smell of damp as you work in.

Tracey, the owner, was incredibly helpful and even replaced the DVD player when it seemed to be faulty. It was an extra bonus to have a lovely big paddock to exercise the dog first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Altogether an excellent find!

Perhaps this was due to us arriving at the end of the season and a refurbishment plan is scheduled for the beginning of next season? The âblu-rayâ player didnât play Blu-ray Discs and we had several instances of it not playing anything - to be fair Tracey did come round on the first occasion that we had trouble with it but it seemed to have righted itself by then, we put it down to overheating so each time it âfrozeâ we switched it off for 15 minutes and tried again - the sound system never did work. We were a bit surprised that there was no recycling bin on the property as most places we have stopped in recent years have been insistent on recycling. Otherwise the facilities were all good and there were a few unexpected little extras supplied which were a bonus. The site is a bit remote so very cold when the temperature dropped but there is no shortage of heating appliances- itâs remoteness also meant that you needed to travel to obtain staples like bread and milk, ( there is no shop in the village), but the owners did supply a little starter pack just in case we forgot anything, which was appreciated. The information booklet was very thorough and Tracey was at pains to let us know that help was just a call away if we had any issues. One little niggle was the cutlery, it has seen better days and needs at least the knives and forks replaced please. We had a nice restful stay at the property and had the weather been a little warmer we would have done more rambling around the gorgeous countryside surrounding Primitive Mews but unfortunately we are city folk and donât cope well with the extremes of cold weather, we chose cosy hibernate instead.
