Large garden for the dog to run in.

A bit hit and miss on the cleanliness front, particularly the bathroom - just needs attention to detail. Shower over bath difficult to get correct temperature and a grab rail or similar would help getting in and out of the shower. The bath towels are far too small and to be need to be upgraded to bath sheets. All the rentals I've stayed in provide good size bath sheets. Pillows could do with being replaced too. Some of them are really flat and lumpy. I managed to find one in the wardrobe that was more suitable. Disappointed that there was no TV with Freeview available. Weather wasn't particularly good so it would have been nice to have access to Iplayer, ITVX etc. TV's with Freeview built in are not expensive these days. Despite these few niggles I would definitely stay here again.
