Overall my 3 friends and I had a nice weekend at this property. It's a lovely place and exactly as it looks in the photos. It was nice and clean and it was warm when we arrived which was much welcomed in the December cold.
There were a few issues though unfortunately. The WiFi couldn't be detected unless you stood in certain places. It then took a good while to connect and once connected it kept dropping out. The TV was not connected to the Wifi either so we couldn't access any of the SMART TV channels, the TV remote didn't work properly and the radiator in the downstairs bedroom wasn't working at all so it was extremely cold in this room. Communication response times were good though with messages being responded to quickly and the owner, Colin, came out on Saturday morning to try to fix everything. The WiFi turned out to be an issue with the provider which was fixed by the time we returned early evening and the remote just needed new batteries. Unfortunately the issue with the radiator couldn't be fixed though. It also stated there is provision of Tea and Coffee on arrival, however, the coffee was hard and stuck to the bottom of the container and unusable which after a long journey in bad weather was disappointing as was there being no milk provided either. This meant we had to wrap up and walk to the nearest co-op to get some basics when we just wanted to have a hot drink and relax. These are things that should ideally be checked each time before guests arrive as WiFi and heating are priorities and guests would expect they are going to be working on arrival. We were impressed with the communication though as stated above and overall enjoyed our stay. It was only the above issues that kept it from being a 5 Star review which is a shame as they're such small issues, but, as mentioned, important to guests. To finish on a positive note, Colin the owner was lovely and tried his best to resolve everything and the beds were extremely comfy! As long as the above issues were resolved we'd definitely stay here again and it was ideally located for our Manchester Christmas shopping trip.
