Overall a nice stay over Easter. Really happy our dog was allowed to stay also :-) Lovely quiet property at end of a cul de sac and right of way.Modern property, comfortable. Thanks for the use of the BBQ, and loved your CD collection!Didn't realise that there was no washing machine, so not ideal for a long stay, as need to go to a laundromat.Nothing major, but a few minor things:- the BBQ ignition lighter didn't work, so had to go buy some matches. - could do with a bit more of a thorough clean. Main bathroom shower door bit dirty when you look closely, cobwebs and rust in fan unit. Cobwebs around the house.-picked up the cooktop trivets and my hands were black with dirty soot residue- no hangers at all in any of the closetsGood stay overall, solid B
