    Only a couple of issue 1) front door stiff - but wasnt an issue as used the back doorr to courtyard all the time. 2) The WiFi was not good though but as we were going to get away from everything this didn't cause to many issues. But if you were planning on working from there you need to be aware. neither of which we thought were bad enough to trouble the caretaker/owner on our stay - and had already seen feedback which mentioned them both so were expecting these may issues. On the plus side - its a huge property and was very clean through out. We were there in storms and it was a very Cozy ( yes i know with the size of the rooms seems strange ) and warm . Would highly recommend this venue as a place to stay.

    Spacious for 6 people. Lovely decoration and home from home . Well equipped. Super parking. Great location. No tumble dryer, though advertised as such. WiFi was dreadful. One of our party had to return home as was unable to work from the property and second member of our group had to work in a local cafe. Such a shame. Extremely difficult to unlock the front door. Definitely needs addressing.

  • Sam

    Very comfortable and spacious. Two things to be aware of. Front door key doesn't unlock easily with white key, doesn't unlock at all with hello key. Oven door had been broken last 3 stays and is unfortunately still broken. Meaning cannot use oven to cook as it loses all its heat.
