As a place to stay and relax in ,especially with a 10 year old and a 5 year old was very good. The downside as regards to a total of 10 people occupying the house was the bathroom ./ shower arrangements, a handheld shower attachment in the bathroom would have been a plus, as would valves on the radiators so that the heating could have been regulated more efficiently. We found that the bedrooms were either too cold or too hot during the night and as there were 2 infants in the party, keeping them comfortable had caused a concern for the parents.A nit pick was to be found in the childrens' bedroom the lampshades were very brittle and one of the lamps had been precariously left on the back of the arm chair.it was moved during the stay , but best not to be placed there at all.The washing machine had a crack in the door / handle, it should be addressed as further use may result in a problem for others staying. Car parking, i was informed that only 3 cars could park at the property, on arrival 4 cars would have parked comfortably. On the whole the family had a lovely time and enjoyed the experience. And the chocolate cake was a nice touch.
