We stayed here for the marmalade ball and were disappointed to find a tired and poorly maintained house. There was no welcome pack, as described in the booking and arrival emails. There was no general information folder either. All the cutlery and crockery needed cleaning b before use. Work tops sticky. Hard floors dirty, especially in the bathrooms and carpets and furnishing, which are light, very well used. Baby toys were also left in the kitchen and living room area, it looked like someone had just left, without cleaning,prior to our stay. Overall the location is perfect and the accommodation space very good for two families to spend a week together. The garden is open and on the few occasions we sat in the garden, random people used it as a cut through, which was very strange. The bins in the garden were also overflowing and it generally need a good tidy up/ maintenance care.
