There were some positives which I note here:
Could accommodate 7 of us comfortable with own ensuite
Beds were comfortable and linen clean.
Excellent hot water.
But there were more negatives:
The house is on a terribly busy main road and the traffic noise is loud and continuous, even through the night and located directly opposite the rail line so trains also contributed to noise. Subsequently, we had very little sleep
The commercial kitchen was large enough to cater for a big group, but filthy ie splash back still covered in fat & had clearly not been swept or mopped properly which put us off cooking.
The plates, glasses etc were all mismatched and more suited to a large catering venue rather than a luxurious home
The bedrooms were dark and pokey not with furnishings as described.
There were not a full set of towels in all rooms.
The shower bases were disgusting, and all bathroom stuff was old. No electric blanket on bed
It was a cold weekend and there were only a few logs of wood (only supplied for winter months) so we had to buy wood, kindling and fire starters.
We moved a couch to find so much stuff (Christmas decorations) and mess underneath.
The actual couches and other furniture were also filthy
This house was quite odd and certainly does not reflect the grand descriptions portrayed.
At a different price point this property may be suitable for a group, but we were expecting something really special to celebrate our 60th birthdays and were highly disappointed.
