Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The grounds were lovely, peaceful and private. The inside was shabby and grubby. Fridge and cupboards, dirty. We were aware and fully accepted that this was a work in progress but soap and water are cheap enough and elbow grease is free
Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023
