Although I read reviews after u booked I was still optimistic however, the place does need a refresh, the carpet is filthy and the whole place needs updating. No running hot water- the shower is hit and miss but bath water is cold and given I’m temporarily disabled i can only bath and not stand to take a shower. The oven doesn’t work properly, the sofas filthy, the bathroom needs replacing, the tv is tiny, no WiFi or signal, dog poo in the garden, the list goes on! No pub within a mile as advertised, no local shops or nothing within 1 hour walking distance. Tried to ring owner to sort the hot water twice and no answer. No book left that details local taxi firms or anything. Would not stay again
