Spotlessly clean. Spacious, super off road parking and gardens. 200 metres walk to Thornton’s amenities. All 3 toilet seats were dangerously loose and light bulbs missing. Seems to be the norm with holiday lets and hotels!!!! I did email the agency on 2nd day but didn’t receive a reply. Definitely stay here again though.

Nice comfortable and cosy accommodation.
Nice comfortable and cosy accommodation. There was a note in welcome pack saying dish washer not working but we didn't see it for a couple of days as welcome pack not visible. There was dishwasher tablet's left out to use so not sure if dishwasher worked or not. The outside general waste bin full? But the sofas, beds, dinning room, conservatory and bathrooms were all excellent. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend x
