This is our 3rd time staying here. Previously we have had good experiences, hence our returning year after year. However, this time we arrived to a house that was filthy. It was clear that the floors hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. We had to clean the kitchen on arrival as the counter tops and table hadn’t even been wiped down. There were items that had been left by previous occupants that would have been noticed had there been any cleaning prior to our arrival. All of the plates are chipped and need replacing. The duvets in the twin room are so old that the filling has shifted to the edges and are not fit for purpose anymore. We are very disappointed and won’t be returning. In addition to this we weren’t left any parking tickets and so had to go to the office on arrival which was inconvenient. Lots of things were broken- the clock in the kitchen, drawers that couldn’t be opened as the knobs had come off. We had to clean the oven out before use and all of the kitchen equipment as we found silverfish in the cupboards.

Really good house for large family with an ideal location. Parking always an issue and the house would benefit from being freshened up. But well pleased with our holiday.
