Definitely needs TLC and most important the kuchen need sorting. No instructions for microwave, so struggeld with that and COOKER OMG!!! Nightmare cooking Christmas Dinner. Doesn't work properly so Christmas Dinner was not good. No baking trays, ( only 1 and doesn't fit in the oven) so had to go to Home Bargain and buy some also No measuring jug so had to buy one of those too. The owner Definitely needs to have a good think about things that make it home from home.

The house itself is extremely functional with a good sized kitchen and it has the convenience of 2 shower rooms. The conservatory is lovely and the garden backs on to the river which makes it a great place for enjoying a bit of peace and quiet. The house looks clean and tidy but I think itâs needing some TLC and updating eg pillows and other bedding, pots and pans and fresh sealant in shower rooms. Having said that, I would happily recommend a stay here.
