Set in beautiful countryside. Only let down by heating system. We had only partial heating and no hot water for our last two days.

We did find some items in the cupboards needed to be cleaned before use. Not really a criticism but an observation we found that with both bedrooms being on suite if you had those who went to bed earlier or rose earlier there was no seperate W.C. to use to prevent dsiturbiing others.

The shower drain was partially blocked so we needed to finish showers quickly to avoid flooding, and the basin was similarly slow draining and we had to clear it. Cleaning should be better, stains in the toilet and the toilet brush looked very unpleasant, also dust and cobwebs in many corners. Location and general facilities of the property are good, nice rural setting.
