Our pre communication was good and very speedy and helpful. The spaces were well sized and plenty of equipment & showers very good. A few things took the edge off the stay, which could be easily rectified and would have improved my score. The bedroom off the large en-suite has no chest of drawers for unloading from a suitcase. It would be easy to put one within the built-in wardrobe. There were bedside tables with small drawers, but not sized for T-shirts, jumpers etc. The other double room had a ‘fousty’ smell, whether this came from the very aged wardrobe or lack of ventilation in the room was unclear, but could be eradicated with a change in furniture, improving modern feel and style. Our main disappointment was the garden, which was a key reason for selecting the house as per photos. Although the weather wasn’t great, the garden was really overgrown and quite neglected. We had to tie up the roses at the back door as we couldn’t go out past them without becoming entangled. The picnic bench did not give us confidence in how robust it was, so we didn’t actually use the garden :-( Unbeknown to us until we got there, bbq’s were not allowed. This was disappointing as we had brought foodstuffs and kit, if that had been detailed somewhere in the particulars it would have been helpful. Fully appreciated the insurance restrictions and regional fire challenges, would have been thoughtful to share those with folks visiting from afar. Potential great, with some adjustments.
