"Fabulous day in this quirky country house."

9.0

The old school house is a large quirky property in a brilliant country setting, there were lots of walks for the dog, plenty of wildlife to see and a good base for exploring further.

A couple of small issues were dealt with promptly by the owners via WhatsApp, but apart from that at we had no issues.

"Cozy cottage in a lovely area."

9.0

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lovely location with a cozy cottage feel. Great space for a group or family to gather. Very comfortable beds and the master had an en-suite. The games room was amazing. The host was very responsive.

Owners personal belongings were in all the cupboards and a lot of old food in kitchen cupboards, a few kitchen utensils in need of updating. We had an issue with wasps in the kitchen which we managed to sort quickly.

"Great break with the family in a lovely old building."

9.0

Lovely setting, good size, comfortable, clean and plenty of kitchen items. Seemed a bit of thought has be had to provide all your needs for a great get away.

Perhaps the smell, a bit damp/mouldy smelling, but I suppose you should expect from a property of this age.
