  • "Nice house, temperamental cooker and one of the tv’s too, there also wasn’t constant hot water so you couldn’t have a bath as and when you wanted too, the manual says that there is a control by the television in the front room to change that but we couldn’t find one , only an outline of where something once was ."

    The owners live opposite you so when you are in the garden you are aware of it and you can’t relax properly Overall a pleasant stay though and I would say a few tweaks needed like the cooker and television and heating as we paid nearly £1400 for the week.

    Hi Andrew thank you for your feedback sorry you had a couple of niggles. Yes we did have an issue with the cooker but got it resolved before you arrived and since then have also got the Rayburn engineers to follow up . When you told us about the remote control we came straight away to fix it by swooping batteries and resync the control . There was a remote next to each TV . As the house is old it doesn’t have a combo boiler and one can’t be fitted without taking all the floors up so hot water is set on a timer which can be adjusted. Property Owner

  • "We thought that Millstone House was a lovely place to stay; ideal for a three generation family of six."

    It was very clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The owners were helpful but in no way intrusive. The only thing which could have been better was the weather - but it was February!

  • "Amazing thatched property with a fascinating history!"

    Village is very pretty too and great for a potter round with the dog. Absolutely beautifully clean and well equipped with plenty of room for the six of us. I especially liked the en suite bathroom with two sinks and fab shower! The owner left a very generous welcome pack including tea and coffee and wine which went down very well. Would recommend this lovely house!
