We received a description before we arrived. Quick responses from the host and he informed us that he'd be away and another person would be contactable in case of any queries. Unfortunately after experiencing a few problems we tried to contact then without success so we contacted Richard who told us that they had gone away as well. This may not have been an issue if we hadn't had problems with one of the en suites.
This was unfortunate but we managed and felt comfortable. It is a lovely house with very friendly hosts.
