Disgusting

Thus is the second review I have left as my first one has magically disappeared. Don't belive the reviews that say it's 5* and clean etc. They are not true. I have photographic evidence of the disgusting state of the house when we arrived after being told it had been cleaned! We had to leave and couldn't stay there. The description has been changed aswell as it wasn't written on the description that dogs couldnt be left unattended. That's been added after we have complained and we are still fighting for our money back. Owner very rude and now ignoring us

Worked and lived in Hertfordshire, where we bought up 3 amazing, beautiful daughters, married to paul and now live the idyllic life in Norfolk enjoying time with our gorgeous grandchildren

Why they chose this property

Always dreamed of having a pony in the garden but never could afford it, then a run down barn with Orchard came on the market, and so our dream begins with a lot of hard work and commitment, we turned it into the perfect place to bring up our family and just feels like we are on a permanent holiday, with its quiet peaceful surroundings
