We were so excited to stay here after reading all the reviews - but we didn’t have a good experience. We were due to stay for 5 nights, but returned home after 1 night as we just couldn’t sleep in the bed. The matress has had its day, and needs replaced. The springs are sticking through, and my hubby and I kept rolling into the middle of the bed!! We barely slept. My hubby had hip surgery 5wks ago, so this was unbearable for him. Owner is aware, and I hope she changes the matress soon.
Great location, but pretty untidy outside and not at all like the photos. Could do with some TLC outside and some flowers etc.. there is a horse box and 2 vans near the driveway which look like they are broken down and left there. Looks bad!
Inside the fire is great, loads of fuel.
There is a musty smell which I could smell off my clothes the next day. It’s an old place, so not much can be done about that I guess!
The towels in the bathroom were damp, not fully dried, I think it was a very quick changeover between guests. The tea towels in the kitchen were also damp.
Dirty towel hanging behind the bathroom door, easy mistake to make and I wasn’t too upset, I just threw it in the washing machine!
The airing cupboard had towels and bedding thrown in and not even folded, again it just looked really poor.
Shower good. Loads of hot water.
In the kitchen the knives / forks need replaced as they are rusted badly. They are clean, but just look dirty. The glasses weren’t clean, we had to wash all of them, and the plates before use. Overall the kitchen just wasn’t cleaned properly.
Overall we wouldn’t stay again due to the bed, damp towels, musty smell, overall untidiness of the property. It’s a shame because it’s so beautiful, it just needs some loving care and someone with an eye for attention to detail, and someone who can give it a thorough clean!
