The setting is peaceful and the outlook green and leafy, with good accessibility to transport links and local shops and cafes.
Inside, the the property is a pleasant, airy space.
There is a basic but adequate kitchenette and the shower is good. Basic breakfast supplies are provided, including nice coffee.
Some significant problems, however.
It is advertised as having WI-FI, however this did not function usably during my stay, which was a major problem as I needed to work. Amelia, the host, was responsive and apologetic and rebooted the system, but was unable to resolve the problem during the four days of my stay. The issue seems to be relying on signal from the main house with no local booster or node. I would advise anyone relying in internet access against booking until this has been resolved.
The property is also in need of maintenance. The decking outside is damaged to point of being treacherous.
The path to the property was also rather overgrown and the solar powered lights insufficient to navigate in the dark on a winter’s evening.
Issues inside are more minor (blinds that are slightly broken and cannot be adjusted, an unstable chair, a mattress that needs replacing despite sporting a topper). One ‘quirk’ is that the toaster can only be plugged in when placed on the floor.
This property could be absolutely great, given some attention, however my review and scores have to reflect the current reality.
