Some of the bins in kitchen hadn't been emptied, one cooker was dirty. Was easily sorted by ourselves. Had a few issues with the oven and hob whilst cooking it kept turning it's self off.

It was very clean and well presented. The games room was well used and the shuffle board was a wonderful surprise when we walked in. We had an amazing time in an amazing property.

We hired the whole property and in front of the house there was plenty of space for all of our cars where we had 7 cars. We are a family of 14 adults with 6 children between us and we like to have light walks, have movie afternoons, play games and cook good food. Some of these needs were met well, as the large open plan living/dining space was great for us. Plenty of seating (TV definitely needs to be bigger for the size of the room) but all in all its a great entertaining space. The games room is also great which provides a table tennis table in the hall, and an air hockey table and pool table in the main games room. Although the pool table we had was not the table on the pictures and was much more dated and masking tape down the side. The bedrooms were spacious and somewhat comfortable. Feedback here would be the pillows were all different , some being very thin and not enough for 2 each. The other issue is no chest of drawers in any of the rooms so we lived out of our suitcases as the only place to put clothes was on the rail provided with around 6 hangers provided. Also the travel cot left in the room for the baby was broken. We found a spare downstairs but this came with no sheets,we thankfully had our own. The last and biggest feedback we have is for the kitchen....where to start really. We knew straight away why a kitchen image wasn't on the website and why we had to email numerous times to finally get one. The kitchen isn't just visually unappealing (with a cupboard door hanging off) it lacks the facilities needed for cooking large meals for big groups and for us this is very important. We spend a lot if time in the kitchen on these holidays, cooking breakfast, preparing lunches, and making evening meals. We took our own roasting dishes and good job as there aren't any. There are plenty of pots and pans but big trays are needed. Also serving dishes. There are 4 or 5 large serving plates and 2 serving bowls but in the grand scheme of things when your serving for 14 adults, it wasn't ideal. Big serving spoons are also needed. The fridge/freezers are basic and small. One was battered on the outside and one missing shelving so we had to stack our food which again wasn't ideal. You couldn't use the doors to put milk or large bottles of drinks is as the wouldn't close so we had to lie these down in the fridge and again with missing shelves that wasn't easy. It was like fridge jenga. There is a chest freezer but we needed fresh food storage. The sink is tiny and we went out and bought our own washing bowl. There is also no access to a washing machine or dryer , a first for us as we have always had access to these in the properties we have stayed in. Suffice to say the tea towel provided were very dirty by the end of the week. Would we come again is the big question? Unfortunately with that kitchen, no, and looking at what the price is for the same time next year, well, huge improvements need to be made as this property does not meet luxury yet.
