Whilst it is a nice house in a lovely location it is a little worse for wear. It needs the decoration attending to and it would have been nice if there were more than seven forks for an eight person stay. The mismatched crockery and cutlery looked like they came from a charity shop and we had to put the dishwasher on 3 times a day due to lack of cutlery and suitable glasses. After a cold wet visit to Ely we were looking forward to a cosy afternoon in front of the fire only to discover there was no fuel. Overall dissappointing

Lovely big property with lots of space. Garden a very good usable size. 6 adults one child and a dog and there was plenty of room for us all. Fantastic location with no immediate neighbours. We enjoyed watching the deer pass by the garden.Very sociable kitchen and would be great for parties.Abundance of apple trees and blackberries in the garden so great for a pie or crumble!
