We had our 65th school reunion at this property and it was perfect for meeting up and reminiscing. It had plenty of parking and the house was tastefully decorated, clean and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils etc and the larder had all the basic condiments in. We didn’t use the dining room as preferred to spend our time at the kitchen table. There were brownies waiting when we arrived and they were yummy. The view over the garden was lovely.Our main criticism was we didn’t think that the details on the website made it clear that the 2nd bedroom upstairs didn’t have an en suite and the occupants had to use the separate shower room downstairs and, as the downstairs toilet was out of order (presumably a temporary issue), this wasn’t ideal particularly during the night! The other bedroom upstairs was huge so maybe could be configured to share that bathroom - just a thought. Apart from that it was a very good rental.
