Spacious and attractive in so many ways. On the occasions when I had to contact Piers, he was prompt and helpful in responding.
We enjoyed our stay overall and the outdoor facilities were a real attraction.
We did, though have some concerns. The property states that it is suitable for 0 to adult. There was, however no high chair or cot for our one year old. Had I not contacted the owners in advance, we would not have known to bring those key items and in our previous experience we had not needed to do so.
A second concern was the cleanliness of the property in certain areas. My wife and I spent part of the first full day washing the kitchen floor which, although apparently vaccuum cleaned was, in our view, too dirty for a small child to crawl on. We also spent a couple of hours clearing the garden play equipment of a lot of debris. It's a very good quality resource to provide but had been left in quite a mess.
A final smaller point on cleaning: there were hairs and marks on the wall of the first floor shower which was a bit off-putting.
When we arrived, the large 'recycling bin was over full from the previous occupants who also had not bagged the rubbish as indicated in the guidance folder. We spent the week waiting for it to be collected - the information provided did not make clear the day this would happen - and so we had nowhere to put our own recycling outside the house.
A final concern was the poor quality of hot water pressure which we only discovered on arrival.
