We stayed as a group of 6 friend's and this was a central location for us all. The house is beautiful with plenty of space. Each room is full of antiques which are so in keeping with the period of the house as well as all the mod cons. The kitchen is well equipped for large groups/families. Two of the

First the good things. The house was beautifully kept and very clean inside. It was perfect for us to all get together abs had plenty of space. It was a short walk to town so perfectly located for us. The beds were comfortable, and the house warm. There were books and TVs for entertainment if needed. The host was easy to contact and was happy for us to leave our car at the house after check out so we could explore for a bit longer. Outside I’d say only one parking space is usable, I wouldn’t have wanted to try and park on the other one. The outside grounds were marred by the piles of dog poo which were visible from the kitchen window, I would recommend these are cleared up regularly. There were also random tin cans on the lawn. On the subject of the dog, we all were dog lovers but it could have been ofd putting for a large Labrador to run up to a non-dog lover or child. Luckily he was very friendly with us all. Whilst we did have everything we needed, sets of glasses and crockery would have been useful, we felt a bit worried about using the posh ones from the dining room. I also felt a book of instructions would have been helpful for appliances etc., the online guidebook has the incorrect WiFi information. Some of the decor is quirky and some really reminded me of items my parents had. I would have liked an earlier check in and later check out as an option but I could see that the house was very big and cleaned to a high standard.
