Thank you. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dilowar H. 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great but needs a little refinement Nice property and location is not bad. The pond accross the road is a nice feature. The sofa in the living room was smelly, which made the stay unpleasant, especially because it's the living room. If it was the bathroom, that would have been acceptable. ##### Dilowar H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Keith S. 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Attention to DETAIL needed 1\. The STEP ups and downs between rooms are DANGEROUS for older people! HEALTH AND SAFETY would not be impressed. Just a clear white marking would solve this. 2. Inadequate seating in TV room. PLUS old settee needs updating. Only three people seated .Take out desk and replace with comfortable armchairs. 3. Info on wifi incorrect BUT was solved two days later by SADIE emailing correct codes. 4 Dirty dishes in cupboard by door to garden 5 No batteries in a TV control in other room PLUS no channels available. 6 First aid box needs updating with compartments clearly marked. Everything was just stuffed in haphazardly 7Shower curtains should be replaced with folding doors as water cascaded into floor. 8. New pans especially frying pan. We were 5 ! How 10 would manage I do NOT KNOW. To summarise ,just a visit from a suitable official is badly needed to address these points. This BEAUTIFUL house deserves it!! ##### Keith S.
