Lovely house but a lot of owners personal stuff about in cupboards and wardrobes. Kitchen floor unit shelves were grubby and we had to wash lots of pans before we could use them as they were dirty. Needs a deep clean. Floors and surfaces were very clean. Over time visitors left used sauces and condiments rices etc one of which was dated 2015. Needs to be sorted. Can provide photo evidence if needed. First day shower in annex flooded due to clogged drain filter which we cleaned. The annex door jams and is hard to close. Despite this the 9 of us had a fantastic time!

Beautiful house but full of treasures. With 3 children with us we were scared of breaking anything. The kitchen was cluttered and it was hard to find anything useful. Cereal bowls, mixing bowls, etc. Lovely garden. Rooms lovely with comfy beds. The shower in the annex was good but took ages to get hot water in the house showers. It felt like someone lived there most of the time and just left for a few days.
