What guests are saying
The four of us were extremely delighted with the property which was very well equipped and comfortable.
We had a really enjoyable stay visiting lovely places round about. Parking was excellent. Just to mention that the ensuite shower doors were difficult to open and a narrow gap to get into the shower and in the other bathroom the shower doors need a bit of attention. Otherwise everything excellent.
A nice gated entry when approaching giving you a sense of privacy and security to the property.
The car park is separate to the property meaning the 1st and last day is a small walk back and forth with your bags, but otherwise reasonable. We stayed in ‘Sycamore Cottage’ and the property’s 1st impression was welcoming with all the things you would need for the stay. Nice welcome biscuits, PG tips tea bags and Nescafé coffee sachets with a pint of milk in the fridge to start you off, which was all a nice touch. The property cleanliness was average in our view as the amount of history of cobwebs was visible everywhere especially in ceilings and corners. Worst cobwebs seen are within the ironing board store shelving areas, main bedroom built in wardrobe 2 side shelving areas and the kitchen cupboard where the pots and pans are stored. The main bathroom’s toilet seat we think was in the process of being fixed as seat was loose, with the metal screw cover caps still in its wrapper, left sitting in the corner wall cupboard. In addition, the shower trap cover needs replacing, as it is only resting over the shower tray outlet. We were only provided with 2 extra toilet rolls plus the 2 existing ones on the roll holder which was not enough for a family of 4, for 7 nights. Would suggest you bring extra/ spares. We reported that the toaster appeared unsafe as the plastic deformed rim around the toast slots has a history of melting. The owners were very quick in response and replaced the toaster the next day. The dishwasher during our stay was also temperamental and any selected program would only wash when it feels like it, and we therefore ended up washing dishes the traditional way.
Weather was very hot, luckily all the curtains were closed on arrival, but the accommodation didn't have a fan and we had to open the windows.
Showers could do with a little more attention, doors face a wall and are difficult to open. Floor in the shower rooms required a good clean , especially in the corners. Only 3 castors on one of the arm chairs. Didn't use it. WiFi went down day after we arrived. Jane , said due to the extreme heat. It returned, 48 hours later.
