“It had a normal hob and oven instead of or in addition to the Aga and better saucepans it would have scored full marks throughout.”

“Lovely property, nicely restored with quality fittings.”

Nice Location, outside space great, lovely big grass snake ( don’t worry about this, as you won’t see him if your not looking) living in dead tree near stream, duck with eggs n front garden. Smell in main bedroom , which is water related, either from corner of shower or water leak whilst raining which could be heard dripping, one of those things which I’m sure owner will sort, this shouldn’t detract from a super property in a super location, ver tastefully restored, well done and thank you very much

“Loved the house.”

Decor was beautiful and very comfortable. The house has a wonderful garden and the position is great! The house was let down by the cleanliness. There was a strong smell of damp in the master bedroom and serious dust on the wooden beams and on the walls and ceilings. I had to do a clean myself and dust. The owners have put air diffusers around to hide smell of damp. The house also has a terrible moth issue. Huge moths all over the place in each room.

“The very few improvements that could be made: 1.”

Cooking is dependent on the AGA. We succeeded in finding a detailed instruction book which allowed us to to use it well - this could be made more prominent, or mentioned in the folder 2. Out initial order of a travel cot and a high chair was not fulfilled, but were provided quickly when asked for. We loved the garden, access to the lake and the very peaceful location.

“This a very well furnished holiday cottage in a wonderful peaceful and beautiful situation.”

Niggles: while we should have spotted it from the pictures there are a number of low beams and two of us who are 67 foot hit our heads on them more than once. The electric Aga (we have a gas one) took some getting used to. None of this spoiled what was a wonderful break.

“The most beautiful house we have ever stayed in, beautiful location, had one small problem with hot water in one side of the house but maintenance came to us within an hour to sort it, deposit returned within 3 days.”

Really happy, we are already planning a return visit.
