    Advertise you do these positives in the booking as it adds a little value to the booking . Situated well on nice farm area However, the hot tub chlorine levels were excessively high and stripped colour out of swimwear , there was an old plaster on the decking next to it too. Would be nice to have a cover over it for winter use. There was a bunch of hair grips left by a previous guest inbetween the placemats on the table which goes to show it’s not thoroughly cleaned or checked between guests. The floor on upstairs mezzanine had dust bunnies & some debris lying, which is off putting. Booking never mentioned you would need to bring your own additional towels , this should be made clear as £5 per additional towel is a bit cheeky , especially as it’s not mentioned clearly in the booking terms. The bench outside and inside was very wobbly and seems a bit tired. All in all,OK for the price but wouldn’t come back . There was also flies everywhere and despite keeping the doors and windows closed, they were crawling all over which was a bit off putting.
