    The guidance in relation to food waste, recyclable waste and bin collectiion cpuld be more clear. We could not opoen the gate to enable the bin to be taken out. Also the bramble canopy to the bin area need to be cut back to avoid the risk of head or face injury. All other aspects of our stay were fine. Thank You Mike Dinsmore

  • Keith

    Cleaning appears superficial…. Surfaces dusty, cigarette butts in the garden etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
