The heating system is poor and the radiators either tepid or cold . The weather was warm for this time of year circa 12 degrees . If it had been colder the house would have been freezing, There are convector heaters supplied and a wood stove needed to use all the time to keep the place warmish . Many windows are old and draughty. The hot water needed an immersion heater on as otherwise there was not enough water . The furnishings , carpets and decoration are generally old and tired . The two bedrooms up a very steep flight of stairs were freezing and unsuitable for young children especially as there is no bathroom facility there . The TV is old and not connected to the wi fi so it’s free view only . The wi fi is appalling and is intermittent at best or non existent at times so we had to use our own mobiles . Generally the house is ok but we would not stay again or recommend it for winter use . The garden is unkempt and had not been touched over the winter months . Overall it’s very expensive for what it is . The house needs some capital spending on it to make it a luxury stay at these prices .
The owner has us asked to respond to each of your points as they feel it does not present an accurate picture of the property nor did you contact anyone to discuss things with during your stay.
The heating system has just been serviced and will take a little while to reheat if it is used excessively. There is an electric shower that can be used continuously. You could have also put the heating on constant if you were cold. The TV is a smart TV with over 100 channels and Netflix. The Wifi has a pair of routers to ensure fast internet speeds, it appears you have turned these off. The windows had been largely replaced at the time of your stay except 4 that have since been done The property was fully redecorated during lockdown, we appreciate this will be a matter of personal taste. They have replaced sofas, chairs, refitted the shower room, replaced the roof, TV, beds and mattresses in the last few years, all others guest have been very happy and love the property. The garden is a cottage garden and they leave the heads on the Japanese anemones as winter food for the goldfinches. We would have liked to have had the opportunity to resolve these matters for you during your stay. Property Owner
