The house is a charming picture perfect old farmhouse complete with roses and honeysuckle adorning the building. There was plenty of space to accommodate our 3 generations of family. Sadly the weather was unseasonably cool so even with wet suits the children didn’t get as much enjoyment from the pool as we’d hoped. The water was freezing,
The house was very well equipped but there were several annoyances that necessitated Tony (thank you,) to take phone calls and make several visits. It was 16 degrees inside as we arrived and damp and the heating that we’d been told not to touch took several attempts (and days) to get going. Thank goodness for the excellent wood burning stove. We has to dry out all the lounger mattresses and fill mouse holes in the games room. (The blighters had got into the basket trunk containing games!)
The kettle had a faulty connection and the toaster only toasts one side. Several of the kitchen chairs had unintentional “removable” backs! We were asked to keep tumble dryer to a minimum and use the airer in the utility room or the outside line. There was no airer, so we rigged up makeshift lines!
Such a shame that some tlc is required to what is otherwise the perfect peaceful holiday getaway, we shouldn’t really have to do DIY in holiday, hence not giving full marks
