Alison
Warm, spacious, great facilities. The beds were comfortable and linen and towels good quality. The pool table was a hit and the Smart TV. The environment is lovely if you like countryside, peace & quiet and privacy. We gave Martin direct feedback with regards to some cleaning feedback. ( The bin housing and bins were not as clean as we would have liked. Would definitely recommend.

With 10 people sharing there was plenty of room. Bedrooms were spacious too. The set up in the property was well thought out and decorated well too. Love the chandeliers in the lounge. Lovely area for walking and local pub was approx 1 mile away, The New Inn. Roast dinner on Sunday was well worth it but suggest booking as was busy. Malmesbury is a short dive away and well worth a visit, follow the walking trail. Maps from Tourist information. Only negative I was property could do with a few more baking trays for cooking. However, would rent property again and easily recommend it to others. Had a great weekend with friends.

Which we found very spacious. There were however some minor points that the owner should rectify or be aware of. Top oven not working (owner informed), lack of usable toilet brushes, we were disappointed that the table tennis table was out of use and the hot tub wood burner should be fired up at least 3 hours before use. Would also have been useful to have more information about the property facilities and the area including surgeries and emergency service.
