Homely feeling and the provision of almost everything you need to make a meal. Books to read and family games to play

We had a pleasant stay overall. The whole house was neat and tidy when we arrived and we really appreciated the spacious backyard where the kids could play. The bed was also comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep.

The biggest issue was the difficulty accessing and locking/unlocking both the front and back doors with the keys. The security door at the front was also not locking properly from the outside when using the key. This made me feel quite uncomfortable and insecure, especially when leaving the property. I would strongly recommend having the locks and keys checked and repaired to ensure guests feel safe during their stay. I also felt a little uncomfortable with people accessing or attending to things around the property while we were staying there. A few minutes after we arrived, a lady came to the property saying she had forgotten a bag of linen from when she had cleaned earlier. The following day, while we were out, the lawn was also trimmed. While I understand these things may have been necessary and were not intended to cause any concern, it did make me feel that our privacy was being invaded, particularly knowing that someone could access the property while we were away. I would suggest arranging any cleaning, maintenance, gardening or collection of forgotten items before guests arrive or after they have checked out, unless it is absolutely necessary during the stay. If access is required while guests are staying, it would be appreciated if guests were notified beforehand.

It was a very nice stay. Beautiful location, quiet but very convenient to town centre. Comfortable pillow. Nice facilities.

The hot water from tap is super hot and it is difficult to adjust.
