The property has great potential but needs attention for a 5 star review. The property needs updating with a fresh coat of paint and either a deep cleaning of upholstery on ALL furniture or new covers altogether. The fabric on the seating was filthy and smelt musty. Whoever does the laundry for the bed linen and towels needs sacking as it all stunk! Some extra TLC would be a nice touch like shampoo’s for example. The kettle was rusty which is a law suit waiting to happen and many light bulbs didn’t work. It shows that the property isn’t cared for or checked properly by owners or management team. Location for us was perfect as it’s out of the way and so peaceful. Very spacious property too. If they update these points then we would stay again.
