    “Great house, lovely interiors, comfy beds and fab location.”

    Only a couple of things we would mention to make the house even better.

    Only a couple of things we would mention to make the house even better. The downstairs toilet seat is loose and needs fixing, there are only 4 champagne flutes which isn't enough for that size of house, would expect 6, no tumblers only hi-ball glasses. The cleaners need to clearn down the sides of the sofas in the lounge, lots of debris in there! 4pm check-in and 9.30am check-out meant we only had a very short time in the house (we only stayed two nights), it would be nice to either have an earlier check-in or later check-out, particularly as beds need to be stripped, bins emptied and because it was bin day we had to make sure the bins were out! But none of the above would stop us booking again as the house etc. was great.
