    “The property was lovely in a great location.”

    Some furniture is tired. A leg on one sofa in the big lounge was broken, others are bent and also likely to break. sofas in the small lounge are tired and uncomfortable. Left dish washer not working, waste disposal sporadic. Seat pads in kitchen need cleaning. No cushions for outside seating available. Beds could be bigger, 4 poster bed not comfortable.

    Some furniture is tired. A leg on one sofa in the big lounge was broken, others are bent and also likely to break. sofas in the small lounge are tired and uncomfortable. Left dish washer not working, waste disposal sporadic. Seat pads in kitchen need cleaning. No cushions for outside seating available. Beds could be bigger, 4 poster bed not comfortable. No batteries in the TV remotes, TV’s not all working properly, Internet was very poor, windows need cleaning, moth infestation in annex bathroom and toilet, we had to wash the dining room table cloth before using it, no full length mirrors for the ladies, en suite from four poster room needs deep clean. No tea towels or cleaning products, shower gel and shampoo would be a nice gesture. No scissors in the kitchen. Mop heads need changing as do brush and shovel. Toilet brushes need bleaching or changing. The trees and bushes down the drive need chopping back as the branches caught our cars when passing. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay despite the constructive criticism and we appreciated the welcome pack. We would certainly return! Whilst we understand the time required for changeover a 10:00am time to vacate is not great as there is quite a lot to sort with a big family, I am sure 11:00am would be more palatable
