Lots of repairs need sorting, outside lights, dangerous path " trip hazard. Garden really untidy, No privacy blind in kitchen or on stairs, bath tap needs replacing, heat regulation doesn't work properly. Could really benefit from a safety hand rail fitted to the wall near bath. Main gate needs mesh on bottom to stop dogs escaping. No Iron or ironing board, hardly any bath towels and no bath sheets at all. Lots of cobwebs in windows, dust everywhere. Many of these things have been reported in visitors book previously. Could be a really great property if the owners spent some TLC on it and they're only next door. Such a shame

It is well in the countryside very quiet which is not a bad thing but a good base. Also in the 2nd bedroom with the single beds in it could do with a small wardrobe just to hang clothes in as it was a bit of pain having to share the wardrobe in the main bedroom.
