The decor, bedding, cleanliness were all to a high standard. The garden was lovely. There were only 2 little niggles. One was that the lounge layout made it difficult for us to sit around TV together. Lounge would work better if TV was on fireplace wall and then lounge sofas and chair could be reconfigured. The other niggle is the driveway was tight for 2 cars. We had 3 cars and the third one had to park quite some distance away (2 roads). If it was my property I would modify front garden to make drive bigger. I appreciate this is a lot of work though and expensive but would make it so much easier to get luggage out of cars without having to climb into garden
