Initial communication with host prior to weekend very good and helpful however during stay no reply to queries about lack of hot water. Nice communal areas for the group; dining area, living room, garden.Poor upkeep of the property in general - damp marks, freezer full of ice and old food, flaking paint and in some areas unclean. Not enougj crockery for all staying (some had to use plastic plates) which was a shame as we booked a private chef as a treat. Hot tub is more of a hot paddling pool - blow up with no seats inside - could fit approx 3-4 people.
When we arrived at the property it looked like it had been left abandoned. The garden was overgrown, so much so that we couldnât get a car on the drive and the front of the house was in disrepair. We opened the door and the property smelled very musky, so the first thing we had to do was open all the windows. Thatâs when we noticed all the cobwebs everywhere even on a saucepan !! it was disgusting.The down stairs toilet was old and very dated, they was damp patches in every room. One of the bedrooms had a wet patch on the carpet. They was a massive crack in the ceiling of another bedroom.The oven knob was broken, they wasnât enough tableware or cutlery. The oven trays was greasy.The dishwasher didnât work properly.one of the beds wasnât made up.This house needs a complete renovation.All I can say that the towels and bedding was clean, and it is nothing like the photosWe would have gone somewhere else but nothing was available for our group.
