Overall the house was beautiful and had everything you could need.A few negatives-1. The hot tub was filthy. Water was green and there were remnants of the previous user- bottle caps and glow sticks still in it. It had not been cleaned as suggested in the welcome book. The handle for the cover was also broken.2. The cleanliness of the house- it looked like a basic clean (bins, bedding and towels) had been done but the carpets were gritty and food crumbs everywhere, the sofa was filthy and has a slight smell to it.3. The pool table is poorly situated. The pool cues hit the walls or you have to hold it really high to hit a ball. The was no cue chalk so we got some and left it there (your welcome next person 😉) 4. The garden is not secure. There are building works happening next door so the whole side of the house is open to the main road. There is also a little stream that runs along the back of the garden which is mainly blocked by brambles however there is a gap by the little storage shed where dogs can get through.Just an FYI- there are no local takeaways and the pub on the corner was only open 1 night we were there although it states online that it is permanently closed so who knows!We would have rated this higher as it really is a beautiful house however the negatives were quite impactful for us as we have 2 escape artist dogs and 2 teens that we’re looking forward to the hot tub and pool table

Fantastic property in great condition but slightly spoilt by issues that can easily be fixed. It took over 3 hours of emails and phone calls to get the key code. One nice bath towel per visitor but no hand towels in any of the 3 bathrooms. No tea towels or oven glove - had to use bath towel as an oven glove until we could buy one. No dessert spoons so it took ages to eat cereal with a teaspoon!!
