Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews indicate a mixed experience with cleanliness. Some guests reported the property to be spotless and well-presented, while others experienced issues with cleanliness, including unclean bathrooms and floors. The inconsistency leads to a slightly above-average score.

The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to local eateries, shops, and scenic walks. The village's welcoming atmosphere and easy access to attractions like Agatha Christie's home at Greenway contribute to a high score.

Guests find the property comfortable, with spacious bedrooms and a relaxing garden. However, some guests noted uncomfortable seating and steep steps, which slightly affected the overall comfort level.

The property is generally well-equipped, but some guests reported minor maintenance issues such as broken appliances and the need for better cleaning supplies. The well-designed extension and kitchen/diner are positives.

The welcome pack received mixed reviews, with some guests finding it lacking. While some guests were pleased with the inclusion of biscuits and milk, others expected more. It's important to note that such gifts are a courtesy and not guaranteed.

    Clean and very well equipped One problem was the keys. The instructions in the file were not the same as in the email and patio door locks difficult to operate. Also there were no tea towels or black bin bags and the instructions in the file regarding waste and recycling were confusing, however we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very many thanks.

    Very steep steps at front and rear of the property,and no hand rail at the front. I would have been trapped if my son hadn't been there to help me. Hence my replies.
