Very clean property, well stocked kitchen. Wall cupboards are high, particularly if you're short like me. Extremely comfortable beds and pillows. The duvet was too heavy, could have done with a lower tog one.A few cracks in some walls that could do with attention, but do not affect use. Mrs Tuck was extremely helpful. I was informed of a problem with the walk in shower, and was offered the opportunity to cancel, which I declined. The shower was fixed before we arrived. The shortbread from Cedrics are amazing.
