Comfortable, good quality furnishings and very comfy beds. Our second visit here - new settee and mattresses (I think) since last time. Good to see. Only negative was radiator in smallest room wasnât very efficient - but room only occupied for a couple of nights and plug in heater sorted issue. Rest of property was very warm.

2. An already dirty bath mat. 3. We had to replace the batteries in the heating box as it was showing RED and we didnât want to risk the heating going off and onto holiday mode 4. We were left one bin bag, I do find that very stingy. 5. There was no foil. 6. There always used to be washing liquid but that was not there either this year. 7. Airbnb's tend to leave a nice welcome package, one place even left crisps, oil, chocolate etc. You left a stingy set of UHT milk, coffee and some hotel biscuits. 8. 4 rolls of toilet paper that werenât even full rolls. 9. No fire kindle or fire lighters 10. Someone has taken the outside bin so we couldnât put the rubbish out. 11. One dog friendly place we stayed in even left toys and treats for the dogs. Again, a nice touch. One white cereal bowl was dropped and smashed Iâm afraid. Itâs an expensive week away in Feb so with the nice touches missing, the somewhat patronizing suggestion of putting the dishwasher on the night before when we already miss most of a day with a 10am out and a 4pm entry (with zero flexibility on the timings), striping beds etc means it is losing in its comparison to many Airbnb's that we have stayed in. For that money Iâd suggest a better welcome pack, no patronizing suggestions on the welcome email, be more dog friendly (bowls, treats etc) and be more flexible on the arrival time if requested.

We expect high standards and were disappointed to read some of the reviews. However, these have obviously been acted upon and improvements have been made. I would definitely recommend for a comfortable and relaxing break, it couldnât be in a better location.
