The dishwasher was without rinse aid and salt which meant the glasses were dirty on arrival which we put right. The thermostat is set to 18 degrees which some older guests will find cold later in the year. We used an electric fire occasionally (which was provided) to keep an elderly guest warm. The Health Club at the nearby Golf Club can be used at half price and has excellent facilities. Food and a bar is also available at another golf club which is literally next to the property

At that time we were only a group of7 not 9,lets do a review and I have plenty of pictures to prove this,first their are 3 not 5 parking spaces.The outside paths are very uneven and full of moss,on entering the front door has broken glass panels in it,in the kitchen their is only a single oven which makes catering for 9 very difficult,some nights it took over 3 hours to prepare a meal that we could all eat together there were frying pans left full of oil,when you close the freezer the fridge door opens,the dining room only seats 8 not 9 to dine together 9 seats should be provided.The living room only seats 7 not 9,The downstairs bedroom which ourdisabled guest stayed in,he could not get out of the bed to reach his walking frame,due to the bed being very low due to the fact it had a thin uncomforttable matress on it and the fan was very noisey in the en suite where the grouting needs attention,we had to buy bed risers,the showers are all useless,upstairs there were very soiled carpets,broken bed steads,broken blinds windows that will not open,all the en suites need upgrading,having visited 5 years ago none of the fixtures & fittings bave altered,even the garden is 80% smaller and is no longer large,a very dissappointing stay,do not get me wrong the property could be so much better if the owners reinvest some of the money they have received off lets,and we also dreaded returning to the property as we felt we were always being watched,as I say very dissappointing and having stayed at over 20 propertes I know what to expect,and it is no good saying you would ha e addressed these items as most of them would be incuded in basic checks,The oiwners have just taken their eye of the ball or treat it as a cash cow.
