Manor House Mews - rustic Stable Conversion

Fantastic rural location, peaceful in beautiful countryside. It is located close to a lovely stream for paddling on a hit day. Downstairs was cool during the heatwave. Bedding smelt clean.

The property felt dirty, damp, and unloved. The original floor felt greasy on barefoot. Lots of woodlice. Fungus is growing out of the wall by the front door. One toilet roll provided in the house for 4 nights, empty shower gel fixture on wall. The plates were chipped and grimey. Limited furniture and no character, no blinds or curtains downstairs. There was no property guide. We could see a WiFi router plugged in but could not find a code anywhere in the address or on the app, no signal to contact owner. We wouldn't stay here again, not suitable for young family.

The beds were comfortable.

The cooking facilities were poor (grill was not working, inside oven not clean, toaster looked rusty.). Woodlice/spiders everywhere. No food cupboards, unclean crockery and cutlery. No soap and shampoo in the dispenser.

We all had a lovely time great little getaway very clean and well looked after

We all fell in love with it very quiet there to so peaceful we all had an amazing stay there

The property was spacious.

On arrival the property smelled of cleaning products and wasn't entirely secure (windows jarred open) Crockey in the kitchen was chipped. There was no WIFI on the first night and it was intermittent on the second. No reception available at the property. We tried to contact the hosts but no response.

Quaint small stable conversion. 2 lovely bed rooms large shower room/toilet

Wifi intermitent No phone signal Plates and mugs chipped Oven needs cleaning

Great location, reasonably comfortable. Good kitchen and good sized rooms. Nice private entrance with outside seating area.

Unfortunately, when we arrived the toilet did not work, neither did the wi-fi. We tried contacting the owner but he didn't get back to us until about an hour after I gave him a missed call. He said he'd be by first thing in the morning, around 7am to fix it. He didn't come at 7am and sent a message at 7.50 that the toilet will be fixed by 10.30am. At this point it had been over 12 hours without access to the toilet and the owner was not very good at communicating with us. The property next door (same owner) were also having the same issue and there was nowhere nearby where we could use the facilities. We contacted booking.com and they were very helpful with cancelling the reservation, but could not reach an agreement with the owner so we didn't get a refund. We still decided to check out a day early. As well as this issue, the property was fairly clean but the extra bed sheets from the cupboard were stained and the bed sheets in the rooms were quite scratchy. There were woodlice everywhere because of the dampness and we found spiders in the beds. For the price, we were not expecting a lot but unfortunately, the necessity of a working toilet couldn't be overlooked with everything else.

It was really cosy and was just right for what we needed. I would recommend to bring slippers and a blanket for when you are sitting in the lounge area as it is cold as it states on the brochure.

I wouldn't recommend it for little ones with the 2 sets of stairs. The coffee machine didn't work.

So peaceful and had everything we needed.

Spiral staircase was a little scary climbing 😳

Loved the peacefulness and that there was no problem taking our dog. Had a three great nights sleep and loved the reminiscence of the mews being a stable. Lovely quaint place. Any problems could be solved immediately with the owners. I’m reading that there is no parking at the property but we parked in the garden with no issues, not sure that there was parking on the road nearby, paid for or otherwise?

Tbh, the downstairs could do with better draft proofing and a couple of rugs to make life a little warmer in the colder months, we went in march and it was chilly even with the heating on.
