Very in need of updating & decorating. Furniture needed replaced ..... 1 couch was broken. The outside was a disgrace.......very overgrown, with climbing plants all over & right beside the windows.......we had 'hornets' in the cottage. Also mice scratching at night.WFI didn't work outside of lounge area.Not very clean.It's a shame as it's a huge property with ample rooms, beds & facilities.....but I would not recommend it.
