The owners were very pleasant and we're quick to fix the hot tub when it stopped working. Having milk, wine and crisps left for us were a lovely touch. It was great having the pool and a hot tub. The washing machine and tumble dryer were handy too. However, we did find dog poo by the pool and dog treats on the lounge floor and not sure it haRead mored been hoovered before we got there and also other people's items were left in draws. Just a small thing, but more mirrors and towel hooks would be helpful in a couple of the bed rooms. It was a shame as it's a lovely house. We did have a lovely long weekend away though and would go back. Hide

The barn is in desperate need of a professional clean. Too few towels, no bath mat. Needs new sofas. Kettles need descaling. Lounge furniture rotting.
