The host met us at the house and ran thro the facilities. He mentioned that there was some construction next door but it was almost over. This proved to be totally inaccurate as the next morning and continually during the week we were subject to a full blown construction operation. It woke me early and damaged our holiday, if I had known that it was a possibility I would not have come to this countryside location - I had been duped. The owner when contacted did suggest that we seek alternative accomodation and offered ,but did not offer to find it, we looked but there was nothing suitable available. The house was large but was tired and needs to be decorated - not 4 star accomodation. Garden was small and not enclosed to the side of the house, the front garden was like an open cast mine and not suitable for children. The windows when they opened had to be jammed open with books etc to keep them from closing. In summary a tired house , needs decorating/upgrading not a four star standard, not suitable for kids, not recommended while construction in process, very disappointed could not recommend.
