  • "There were a few issues with the shower leaking into the kitchen, bathroom taps leaking around the base in both bathrooms."

    Kitchen tap was also leaking. Contacted owners daughter, apparently an ongoing issue. Otherwise the property and time spent there was really nice

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. Occasionally we have had a problem with the shower leaking . This is when the shower screen is not in the correct position over the bath while the shower is being used … resulting in water going on to the bathroom floor, which can find its way to the the kitchen below We have not been aware of any leaking taps on changeover day, but we will double check and address if needs be Thank you again Property Owner
