There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score for this category.
The location is described as great, with lovely views and a setting ideal for walks and exploring local history. It's secluded and quiet, with only the sound of the nearby river, although some travel is required for sightseeing.
Guests find the house very comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a spacious lounge that accommodates large groups easily.
The property is well-equipped for large groups, with a big kitchen, extensive gardens, and a well-stocked house including cooking items and logs for the fire. The presence of a shed for bikes and an Aga are noted as positive aspects.

Great time had by all. Lovely setting. Had to travel a bit to see castles ect. Have been before and would go again. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and the table is big enough to seat the family together for meals.
