This was a spacious property but attention to detail let it down. Dishwasher not emptied, could not close curtains in main bedroom, wardrobe door in main bedroom not on runners so hard to open and close, garden light inadequate, shower inadequate, water pressure in kitchen too high, zip broken on one of the cushions in the lounge, front door difficult to enter and can’t imagine getting in and out if you were of a larger proportion. Compared to other properties we’ve stayed at and considering the cost of this one, it was disappointing. That said, it could be a lovely property with the right input.

Really comfortable bungalow, undoubtedly the most comfortable bed we've slept in. Only issue was the temperature, far too hot. Wouldn't necessarily say more than dog friendly, but garden great for dog. The nature reserve was a couple of minutes walk, but lovely and shaded with a river running through, dog paddled several times. Would like to see laminate in lounge rather than carpet and throws for furniture to nake it really dog friendly.
