John & Theo were great hosts and the place is very historical and architecturally pleasing. However, the place was very cold, especially with 3 young children. In addition, the place had numerous electrical issues. On our first night the electrics kept going off in the front part of the house due to the electric heaters in the lounge, which meant this area couldn’t be used. The second day/night John installed an extension cable from the billiards room, so we could use the heaters in the lounge. This eventually blew the whole electrics for the building at the main road. This was fixed by the electricity company, but we had to switch off pretty much all the electrics in the house to ensure it didn’t go again. Due to it being cold, unsafe, and not being able to use the property as advertised, we had to cut our trip short and leave a day early. We understand this was out of John and Theo’s control, and did what they could to rectify the situation, but it did ruin our trip.
