Stephen/paula
Bulbs in 2 lamps blown. Frequently run out of hot water for bath/shower. Most of the taps need replacing. We didn't appreciate the fact that when we arrived at the place, there was bits of food and crumbs all over the dining table! The top of the fridge/freezer was filthy as well. More attention to detail needed for cleaning and also we didn't appreciate finding someone's used earplugs under the bed. All this little issues are totally avoidable. However, the cottage was in a lovely location right near a lake (so we could have a cheaky swim) and the host was very helpful. The ouitdoor pool was only 2 mins walk away and again that was lovely. We appreciated the Christmas tree and also grateful for the host leaving wood, kindling and firelighters for the log burner. Despite the little moans above we would come back to this cottage again provided that it was cleaned thorougly prior to our arrival. We got our deposit back promptly.

Mary, the property owner was very helpful. Space was a little tight upstairs but downstairs was more manageable. We were able to take advantage of the local walks despite the weather and flooding- I expect it is glorious in the summer months. The location of the cottage was great - close to one of the play parks and an outdoor pool and an easy walk to the spa pools, the shop/cafe and the soft play facilities. I think we will be visiting again.

The kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay. The lower mill estate is picturesque and green, we loved the spa with three outdoor pools and an indoor pool, and took part in a private yoga class in the teepee which was great. My only suggestion for the estate (rather than Kingfishers specifically) would be to make the public EV charging spaces for EV car charging only, as throughout the stay non EV cars were parked in the charging spaces and preventing their use. We would definitely visit again. Thanks Mary for your hospitality.
