"On arrival the following handles came off in my hand."
Cupboard situated off the kitchen under the stairs. Master bedroom door handle.(This is a health and safety issue. (managed to use the hook behind the door to open. ) Sliding wardrobe door. The downstairs toilet handbasin was blocked on 1st use. Had to wash hands in utility sink. There was no information pack on appliance use or local contacts? On Friday the power went off and we were searching for the fuse box. During our week we looked for a mop and bucket, hoover, egg cups and colander. None of these are available. We chose our holidays based around our dogs. The garden is not secure as stated. The property is beautiful and in a lovely situation. We would love to put it on our return list but due to the items listed above we will not return unless rectified.

"Beautiful property and ideal location."
We booked the property as it states rear garden secure for dogs..... it is not. You can access the front garden from the rear garden down the side of the garage. Dogs can easily get under / through the gate. There were large gaps under the fence that need stock fencing as does the paddock fence to make it dog secure. There is also a metal farm gate in the paddock onto the road which a dog could easily get through. The house is beautiful and very comfortable and would happily return if the garden was made secure for dogs. I would have returned in November if this was the case. The shower rooms and bathroom were lovely but you do need a shelf / bath caddy to put your things on. There aren't any toothbrush holders or anywhere to put your shower gel etc. Could just do with these small things to make it more luxurious. Even toilet roll holders rather than loo rolls sitting on the cisterns? These are small points but I do believe valid. There is also no hoover provided which would be useful during the stay and was surprised that one isn't provided. The cooker was not clean on arrival and neither was the baking tray. The inside master bedroom door knob came off in my hand and I was stuck in the bedroom for a while before I could open it again. Doorknob needs locking onto spindle. One of the wardrobe doorknobs in the master also kept falling off leaving a sharp screw exposed. Would be nice if a discount was offered for 2 people just using one bedroom as this saves cleaning time and laundry costs? My only other suggestion is that you could provide a few more saucepans, it was OK for 2 of us but if you had full capacity of the house, it would not be enough. Please take these notes in the positive way they are meant as it might be worth looking into as these small adjustments would make a big difference. On the website it states a 3pm check in which I thought was great but the night before I got an email from sykes stating a 4pm check in? My last note. Upon arrival you really need a welcome folder with WiFi code, emergency numbers, nearest Dr / hospital / vet. Nearest and name of pub / shop / farm shop and postcodes. Interesting places nearby to visit. What to do on departure, stripping of beds, where to leave laundry etc as we only got an email the night before, from sykes.

Baking trays are needed It's important to state that the garden is not secure for dogs who like to explore However, the property is extremely comfortable and beautifully finished

"Stunning property in a beautiful quiet location."
The added bonus of a paddock and brook for dogs or kids to paddle in made it all the more special. One thing I would have preferred was tv’s with everything set up as opposed to having to log in to watch all normal channels (iplayer etc) For older people that maybe don’t have this set up this could be frustrating.
