However, very disappointed with the overgrown ,unkempt garden .Some comfy outdoor seating would have been appreciated as what was there was old ,dirty or broke. Summer house unusable Kitchen well equipped but needs more crockery as some chipped and not enough for party of nine .Needs new table mats and more coasters. As a party of 9 with 2 young children a tumble dryer would have been useful One bathroom was dated and the other needs a blind at the unfrosted window ,but the showers were good. Very poor information pack just a piece of paper -no info re recycling etc and all recycling bins full ,not been emptied for a while All external doors difficult to lock /unlock informed the contact number given - no response

The instructions are not accurate, access is extremely narrow and it is hard to see how there would be room for the three cars mentioned. What was obviously a gorgeous garden has been left to grow wild. The summerhouse is locked. Our main issue was that all three external doors are extremely difficult and, for some of us, impossible to lock/unlock. The caretaker's number was unobtainable. Some instructions for the appliances would be helpful, we could not persuade the oven to work. The recycling waste had not been collected and no information is given about where and when it should be put out, and the refuse bin only appeared on our last day.
