Only one wardrobe for 5 people, couldn't work out the heating , came on 11 o'clock at night then stayed on till morning , the bathroom sink was very slow at emptying, which caused a problem ,there was 4 of us , apart from these small things it is a lovely cottage and had a lovely stay
Jim
Very comfortable premises, good WiFi and smart TV. Ample parking outside. Village had good amenities and many places to eat and drink. Slightly disappointed about some of the domestic issues. No bin liner, no dishwasher tablets, no kitchen roll, half a toilet roll and garden was very overgrown with weeds. This lovely cottage just needs a bit of TLC to bring it up to its full potential!
Andrew
The house was perfect for our stay walking distance to everything and very cute and comfortable. We will no doubt be back for more training and lessons at Reinhill Ranch and will definitely stay here again.
