Initial impression were good, we arrived late in the evening and Marga had left lights on and the fire lit. There was some fruit, wine and crisps. The house is large, but it’s not the entire house, one room is locked and the bedrooms are not en suite. You have to walk downstairs to a shower or across a landing with a dangerous staircase where in the dark you could fall. The shower heads were badly scaled with calcium, poor hot water supply and very low water pressure. Downstairs there is a damp problem, with water on the floor ?! General maintenance is poor, the dishwasher does not work properly, the blinds are damaged and fall down in the night, one WC runs all the time, so you have to turn it on & off. The beds, bed linens and pillows are not very good quality and uncomfortable. The kitchen is ok, but if you put the oven on at the same time as the hob, the electricity goes off !! There are no sharp knifes for preparing food and the pots and pans are a real mixture and the oven was dirty inside. We didn’t meet the host, but she kept in touch each day to see if we needed everything and whether we were enjoying our stay, which was nice of her.
