Summary: Property ok lots of lovely areas but several issues we were not happy with. Entrance to property overgrown with vegetation, muddy pathway and steps slimy and slippery . Spent the first hour cutting back the overgrown plants and clearing and cleaning the steps and pathway to make them safe and more pleasant for our 6 day stay. Garden a big let down lawn full of weeds and borders all unkempt. Unable to use the outside sofas as not pleasant overgrown with plants and weeds in the paving. Leafs and dirt in the patio area. Not nice to sit in or look at. We did do some clearing up which helped but should not have to do this. Gutter downpipe blocked so guttering over flowing badly when rained heavily. We cleared the gutter down pipe to stop potential damage to the property while it was raining so hard. Rain shower in main bathroom temperature control not working scalding hot unable to reduce the temperature. Toilet seat in main bathroom very loose. Downstairs shower room not pleasant due to discoloured and limescaled shower doors etc.. needs renewing. Washing machine but no dryer as advertised. It was a great shame as the property has so many good points and beautiful furnishings and in a great location. We paid approximately 200 a night and expected more
