Positives. Fab location. Lovely house full of character. Well kitted out kitchen. Local people so lovely and friendly. Good fun in local pub. Great communications from Sarah in advance and from her dad and brother while there.
Negatives. No heating or fire on to have the house warm when we arrived and it was freezing. No stuff left for the fire so had to go get some. Heating didn't work properly.. Radiators luke warm only (hosts did thier best to fix it but couldn't). We slept in fleeces, socks and hats for the first 2 nights and kept the fire and radiators on for our entire stay. We couldn't get the tumble drier to work and it lashed rain all weekend so we had lots of wet clothes. Work being done on the surrounding outside meant lots of mud carried into the house and our car. (once done it won't affect next visitors). May be down to the season not having started and so issues to iron out. But while we made the very most of our stay, the above issues did have a big impact on us
