A few things that we felt needed to be addressed: the extractor fan is really dirty and needs new filter and has not been cleaned on the outside all fat marks on it. The bins werenât emptied so we ended up taking a lot of our rubbish with us as lots of previous renters rubbish was also in there, so no room for ours. The situation was a bit dire with the wine glasses - there were only three champagne flutes (four if you include one as a different size) and only 3 to 4 wine glasses really need to have at least eight wine glasses the same size and at least eight champagne glasses of the same size, especially if youâre marketing it for an eight people stay. We came for a 70th birthday celebration and 50th anniversary at the same time and ended up drinking lovely bottles of champagne out of wine glasses not really what we wanted!!! Also the heating situation whilst itâs probably appreciated now itâs cold - the rooms were getting to 24c and unable to override as itâs obviously set externally. All these things are little and if rectified we would love to come back a few times next year. Thank you Evans family
