Review: From the moment I walked through the front gate, Palash, Lima and Ashok made me incredibly welcome and were gracious and lovely hosts - just the right balance of being available to answer my questions or check everything was OK and giving me privacy. The bungalow is beautiful, clean and well equipped, as well as being very comfortable. The location at the back of the house is quiet and felt very secure with the locked gate access. The flowers in the garden were lovely and bright. Special shout out to Ashok who was a brilliant guide when we first arrived and extremely impressive demonstrating the cool ceiling 'mood' lighting. The only thing they didn't lay on was great weather! Proper Manchester rain almost all weekend but a welcome change from the extreme heat!!!
Suggestions for further enhancements: a wall mirror would improve the bathroom; I didn't shave or apply makeup but these activities would be tricky with current arrangements. The kitchen/sitting area would really benefit from a gate-leg table and chair so that, having cooked a meal or fixed breakfast, the guest could sit up at the table to eat. This would also be useful for guests who would like to use a computer - the dressing table was a little cramped for this. A small investment in a new padlock for the gate might be considered - the current one is difficult to close properly.
The WiFi was good when it was working. Palash was most apologetic when there was a fault that could not be fixed until after I had left. That was just a glitch beyond the hosts' control and did not spoil my stay at all - especially as Palash gave me a full explanation and gracious apology.
