there was no control over the heating, so most of there stay was a cold place, i visited on Sunday and it was warmer outside than inside, unacceptable for old age pensioners, this seems to be mentioned in other feedbacks as well so needs sorting

Would have been useful to know in advance that the garden isnât secure as we had our dog with us. There was no mention of the pool when we booked which was a shame as we might have used it if weâd known. The property itself was very well equipped and nicely laid out and easy to find as there was clear signage from the road. It was spotlessly clean too. There was an issue with a missing back door key when we arrived which was sorted very quickly after we raised it. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended it to friends.
