Adrian
It is clean and fitted out to a high standard, although the property is limited for airing and drying clothes/towels. The parking area at the front is the only outside space. The living space is adequate and we were able to relax in front of the TV in the evening. We found the bed very comfortable and it was quiet overnight. We did not specific instructions regarding waste disposal/recycling, of the two bins outside one had no lid and the other contained garden waste. It was ideal for our purposes, as a couple staying for a few days visiting friends and we would use it again for a similar period of time.

There was no patio or patio furniture. Only a front drive where you would not want to sit and eat as by busy road with massive tractors and a bus stop outside. We were sold something that was not there as we were looking forward to enjoying sitting out in the evening having a glass of wine, instead had to sit in a room that was quite dark! There was a washing machine which was pointless as nowhere to hang your washing! A dishwasher would have been a better option. The weather was wonderful last week but we were stuck inside in the evenings!
