Nice tele and comfy sofa- lamp may be beneficial in living room; light a bit bright and slightly dark as the evening went on. Kitchen very modern and well equipped. Cooked several times and had everything we required. Few handy essentials avaliable in case you've forgotten anything too. Welcome hamper of tea, coffee, sugar and proseccco. Unfortunately, we weren't left any milk; we had our own and the shops are only a very short walk. Bedrooms all comfy, showers bit rubbish compared to the rest of the house, shower over the bath was by far the best. Information pack with handy bits and pieces, possibly could do with an update - heating manageable by TRVs, no heating on, was slightly chilly during our stay and would have been good to dry towels / damp clothes. Enjoyed our stay very much, house could do with a 'deep' clean, but didn't effect our stay. We would stay again and recommend!
