We were a group of 12 runners who spent the August bank holiday weekend at the property. There was a lot of space in the property and it also had lots of character.
We spent most of our time in the kitchen as it was huge. The kitchen was well equipped with pots and pans, although we thought that there could have been more serving utensils (big spoons and ladles) as we often were left to improvise. There was an array of spices, salt and pepper, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning stuff which sometimes are lacking in holiday lets. Some of the roasting trays were a little old/rusty, but we just layered the usable ones with foil.
Bedrooms were comfortable and linen was of good quality, although a few of our party thought it would have been better if the linen price was included within the overall rent rather than me as the lead organiser having to collect multiple installments of money from people.
The garden was beautiful - we didnt use the BBQ area but we noted it was there, and there was ample seating and comfy chairs. There was also a trampoline in the garden.
The lounge was also full of comfy sofas and lots of board games and jenga.
Overall, it was a great weekend and we all felt relaxed in the property. It had lots of character and definitely would suit 12 max. We didnt use the mezzanine bedroom in the end as it had no curtains and the sun still rises pretty early!
Easy access to the SDW/Petersfield was key for us, and it was very quiet and relaxing.
