In need of some TLC and a good clean. Plenty of cobwebs and dust. Never did find the tumble drier! Nowhere to hang towels in the twin room ensuite and no shelves in the showers to put gel, shampoo etc. The outside lights didn't work. Wasn't expecting a small builder's yard on site, although it wasn't a problem, just a bit odd. If you have under 18s in your party, the cleaner apparently does not leave dishwasher tablets, but a quick call to the owner and they were provided. Also no kitchen towel, without asking. And don't forget, you are close to East Midlands Airport and DHL fly until the early hours!
