Dr Horton
An excellent cottage for two, well equipped and definitely off grid. It has all mod cons and is very cosy. The bed is huge (double queen) and very comfortable, something that is a problem with many rentals - not here. To get away from the world, it is ideal and the sky is dark so skywatching is ideal provided it is warm and clear. One of the best we have stayed in.

Mr Austin
Really beautiful bungalow set in glorious countryside. Extremely clean and well looked after. Would of given top marks for equipment except for the shower floor. The shower itself is brilliant but the wet floor idea is very poor! The water just doesn't drain away and consequently the whole bathroom floods to literally 1 inch deep. The water even reached under the washing machine! It then takes an age to drain away and it is then impossible for someone else to use the toilet or have a shave. Recommend that the outflow is improved, a proper shower tray installed and a proper side and door installed. 9.5 out of 10 for the rest of the bungalow. I've clicked on no for recommendation purely because of the shower.

My review is the same as the one I did yesterday (14 May 24) for New Harborough Farm, apart from one key point for the bungalow. The shower room needs sorting out. The shower works well but there's not sufficient glass or surround and so it floods about 1/3 of the floor, which then stays wet for hours. That's even when you turn the shower off to shampoo/soap and direct it into the furthest corner!! Other than that excellent.
