The only thing I would add is to recommend a spare toilet roll be left,to just have the one in the roller seems a bit mean. We love the position for cycling, and enjoyed relaxing with the view out of the window over the Lake. Thankyou

Fabulous views of the lake from the windows. However, the cleaning in the bathroom let it down slightly. I had to wash the bath before I could get in it. It would have been nice for some cleaning products to have been left in the bathroom for us to use during our stay. We were asked to leave the property clean when we left but to do this cleaning products are a necessity. Also one loo roll for two people for one week appears in our opinion to be penny pinching. The kitchen was lovely and clean and we even managed to cook a Christmas dinner on Christmas day. We loved the little Christmas tree complete with lights and the treat hamper in the kitchen was a nice touch too.

The fridge is in need of a clean as it is showing mould and uncleanliness. The cutlery all needed washing again and some of the plates were dirty. The hamper basket was a nice touch but the basket could do with a clean as it has old food nestled in the bottom. The water pressure in the shower is not very good. The majority of the time, it just dribbled out. Overall we loved our stay and these are only minor issues.
