The house and garden are poorly maintained with furniture and equipment a mish-mash that appear to have come from cheap second-hand shops. The soft furnishing is ill-matching and oversized, with some stained. The kitchen equipment is well below standard (although there is an attractive collection of classic china tea cups and saucers). The shower in the 'en-suite' bathroom didn't work. The beds are very uncomfortable with mattresses well past replacement date. The quality of work in the decoration and maintenance work both in the house and the garden suggests no care has been given. The standard of tiling and fitting in the bathrooms was shoddy. The electrical wiring runs across the surface of ceilings and skirtings and in places looks unsafe. There is little attention to comfort, with most lighting being ceiling lamps. We had no alternative but to stay, however it was an extremely disappointing experience and wildly expensive for what it was.
