So comfortable, lots of thoughtful touches, lovely linen and comfy beds.Welcome pack,too. Such a lot for the children,too. We all enjoyed the garden, and the children loved their table and chairs. Although beautifully clean,lots of it was rather worn.We understand the property is on the market, However some the appliances tripped the electrics.The toaster died,as did the hairdryer.The kettle tripped. And the dishwasher as mentioned by other guests was a bit of a health hazard!We tried it once,but it wasnât working at all well ,and was grubby. Whoever cleaned and readied the barn did a wonderful job,and the Barn is lovely. Left a note with a thank you,but a list of defunct appliances..

The house was equipped with everything we could need including loads of toys and games for the kids (and some for adults too). The general level of cleanliness was good. However, it is clear that the house is not being maintained to standard (we assume that the current owner is selling as we saw the property listed on RightMove as well as in an agentâs window). The dishwasher was really mouldy and actually made the items dirtier than when they went in. The inside was covered in black mould and also some sort of orange gunk which just seemed to get worse and worse. I can share pictures if helpful. For a group of 9 people staying it was a real pain to not be able to use the dishwasher. Also, there was a leak under the kitchen sink with a bucket placed underneath it to catch the drips - clearly the owner was aware of this as it seemed to have been there for some time. The bucket of water absolutely stank every time we opened that cupboard. The extractor fan in the kitchen didnât work and a few lightbulbs needed replacing. However, none of this spoiled our trip and the house was generally really great, just a few things which could be easily rectified.

As we had no phone signal we couldn't contact the number and as we had 5 kids with us we kept forgetting when we were out. We have since learned of WiFi enabled phone but didn't know about that. The dishwasher insides need replacing and the wirly thing fell off on the last morning. There is no light over the mirror in the ensuite making shaving etc very difficult. Knives are aplennty but all blunt. Some bulbs fluckering
