The property is well-equipped, but some maintenance issues like a non-working upstairs toilet, a control for the shower in an unexpected place, and a leak in the conservatory roof during heavy rain have been reported.

We werenât sure if there was a freezer as couldnât see it mentioned but there is a separate fridge and freezer making it easy to cater, lots of convenient takeaways or you can eat out. The beds were a little bit soft and the springs a bit creaky but we slept ok. Unfortunately due to extremely heavy rain, we had a leak in the conservatory roof, luckily not near the bed or any of our belongings. We informed the lovely owner straight away and they are contacting the company who only recently did it.
