The property is in need of some TLC. On the first day I emailed the owner telling her that there was a problem with the drain in the shower cubicle, which was extremely slow draining. We were concerned that it would block up completely during the week. I received no reply.There was litter in both front and rear gardens. The front garden was full of weeds. Many of the curtains had linings that were torn or had come away at the top, making them look awful. In the kitchen, the promised tea towels were absent. The grill on the cooker was pretty ineffective and the toaster was not much better. The fridge door handle broke and, on inspection, it appeared that this was not the first time, as it had been glued at some time.The light over the dining table was intermittently flashing. The sofas were uncomfortable and we had to sit on scatter cushions to make one of them tolerable.The access way to the rear of the property, where the parking is located, was in an extremely poor state, with several large potholes, and was overgrown. This should be highlighted to potential clients, as a low slung car might well experience damage.It was disappointing to have all these issues, when we had been looking forward to staying there.

A lovely holiday home, clean and well-stocked. There were a few issues whilst we stayed but the landlady was very helpful and sorted them quickly. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of storage. The welcome hamper was gratefully received and set us up for our arrival. Off-road parking was ample and right outside the back gate which was ideal although the access to it is uneven and not too kind on the car.Sofas are very uncomfortable which was a shame when relaxing in the evenings and the bushes outside need trimming to make it easier to walk around the house.Overall, a great place to stay which was perfect for our family.
