Lovely old house in a pretty village
Location was perfect for us - we have stayed here before. The garden is lovely which we would have loved to enjoy if the weather had been better.
Very creaky floorboards, to be expected in such an old house. The rental company sent an email with a link, asking for bank details and then the further link did not give access information. My bank thought this was a scam and stopped my card. I had to call a mobile number to get the code for the key safe. It would have been better to have just sent this information in an email, instead of asking me to click on a link, which didn't work.

Lovely old character home. Would stay again.
Quiet location. Lovely garden, peaceful. Full of character and plenty of places to find and see in house when exploring. Pub opposite was great and bought food over to us. Very friendly.
Nothing. All great.

Quirky, quaint house best suited for the young.
Quirky, house. Lovely original features and fabulous garden. Very clean with comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen and spacious bathrooms. Beautiful village, such a lovely spot.
Unfortunately in our family group we have four people with reduced mobility. Both staircases are very steep and there is no toilet upstairs. Only one of the bedrooms out of four are downstairs. The two Grandma’s had to sleep on the sofas as they were too scared to negotiate the steep stairs in the middle of the night when they’d need the loo.

We really appreciated staying in this special historic house with all modern comforts.
Old house full of character. Plenty of space. Good bathrooms. Lovely garden. Quiet village location. Very well equipped kitchen. Central heating worked well and we enjoyed the log burner so we were very cosy even in frosty weather.
House manuals only found in a cupboard on the last day. One tea towel and one dishwasher tablet were not sufficient for a 3 night stay and 4 guests.

Superb
The old unique charm of the place was amazing. Also liked the information book and how it gives the back story of the place.
Nothing really!

Characterful house with wonderful garden
Location was excellent in a beautiful village. The large garden with a stream at the end was a particular highlight. The house is old and full of character. We didn't use the fire place but in the winter that would have been welcome!
Some of the crockery and glasses were not fully clean - I think the dishwasher doesn't work very well. We couldn't figure out if / how they do any recycling and the one bin provided was not sufficient.

Good
The house is unique and as previous reviews have said - excellent for hide and seek! Myself, my husband, my mother and my three boys had a lot of fun playing there! The setting is very nice, with a huge garden that has a stream at the bottom and a pub just a stones throw from the front door. The house is very interesting and the sloping floors and back staircase made for a unique experience. The beds were very comfortable.
Much of the garden had overgrown parts which we lost all of our tennis balls in because we couldn't get into the bramble. The garden wasn't a comfortable space to use, for example - to be able to sit near the stream, the only option was a broken bench. Some comfortable seating in the garden would have made the space more usable. The various holes in the floors were not popular with my spider fearing children 😄 The living room really needs a lick of paint and some new furniture as does the downstairs bedroom. We stayed for two nights, we enjoyed ourselves and are glad we stayed. Two nights here was the perfect length of time.

Amazing place to stay
As an extended family group, we were very comfortable in all corners of this quirky property, despite the uneven floors and some of the tired-looking furnishings. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in with all the utensils and crockery you could possibly want and the bathrooms were excellent. Lovely to have the wood-burning stove in the evenings, and the garden was a delight at all times.
We expected a warmer welcome and more basic provisions, which the manager was quick to put right when notified. When we arrived it felt like no-one had been in the house for a while. It was clean but cold and the radiators needed bleeding so our first night was a cold one.
