    Internet - this did not work from Day 1. We expected limited service due to location, but we had nothing until Day 5 when my husband resolved the issue. It was not as simple as plugging in and unplugging. This should work for each visit. Oven did not reach temperature but grill did. I felt patronised when I explained this to the booking agent. The oven repair person has ordered a new thermostat - so there was obviously a problem The shower is leaking, and obviously has been for a while, into the lounge. The ceiling below is stained. We put a towel underneath the leak to try to avoid damage. The plumber however says it doesn’t leak. The shower in the bathroom always leaked all over the floor - I think this should be looked at.

    We were very pleased to see that feedback from last year had been listened to and that the bathroom had been upgraded. The cottage is lovely, cosy and well appointed. Our son absolutely loves the pool table! We'll be back next year!

    Lovely holiday. Low Melbecks is the perfect place for a quiet holiday. The cottage was fully equipped with everything you need. Cosy and comfortable. Fun driving through the field past the sheep.
