The Vestry - Sleeps 12 - With Hot Tub

Beautiful property, equipped with everything you need for our party of 10. I loved the thoughtful extra touches like fresh flowers, milk in the fridge, ice etc. So much room for a group of our size to eat, relax and enjoy the surroundings. Karen was exceptionally quick to respond to our queries.

The 2 single beds were in a room connected to a double bedroom, ideal for children but maybe not for adults.

What a beautiful property! So homely and a perfect place to meet up with friends! Within walking distance to a couple of country pubs and lots of places to walk with the dog. The hostess Karen, was lovely too. Excellent communication and extremely helpful. Will definitely be rebooking.

This is a spacious and attractively decorated holiday home with good quality furnishings and bed linen. The garden is fairly private and with seating areas, planting and a small lawned area. The off-road parking is sufficient (requires reversing). The hot tub appeared to be in good condition (but see below). With a small amount of regular maintenance and investment (eg all radiators should be fitted with thermostatic valves; bathroom locks are awkward; electronic ignition for the gas hob doesn't work; velux window could not be opened) and a much more thorough cleaning regime, this property could deliver a luxurious experience.

There is no level access to the house. One bedroom (2 singles) is accessed through another bedroom. There is essentially only one means of escape from fire for accommodation over 4 storeys - the fire risk assessment (hidden in a drawer) says nobody should be alone in the house. Had to find the wi-fi router (in annex bedroom on first floor) to get code. There is a serious lack of attention to cleanliness throughout the house. Both baths were greasy. There were stains on at least one mattress and a blood stain on one pillow. The lounge (including one of the sofas) had significant amount of pet hair and there were areas throughout the house that not been properly cleaned. The dishwasher left dishes and cutlery dirty. The biggest problem was the refuse arrangements. One tiny refuse bin (a third of the size of a standard swing bin) in the kitchen for a property accommodating 12 people. There were no liners for this bin (luckily the well-stocked Co-op in the village stocked bin bags). Two of the 3 refuse wheelie bins on the driveway had multiple splits and were full with only partially bagged rubbish when we arrived. There were maggots on the inside of one of the bins. The bins are placed in full sun. We did not use the hot tub because of the stink from the refuse bins in the afternoon and evening. We did not contact Environmental Health solely because we didn't want to lose any of our short holiday.

Self catering. Hot tub, garden area & barbecue area. Accommodation was spacious and comfortable. There was everything we needed in kitchen. All bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Perfect layout for our needs.

No. Met all our requirements and expectations.
