  : The property is beautiful, in an incredible location, cosy, with wonderful facilities, and super clean. The views really take your breath away. There's underfloor heating throughout and each room has its own control, which is fantastic. The layout of the bedrooms is brilliant too. We stayed with some friends - they had a 1-year old baby and we had a 1-year old puppy. Neither of us could hear each other on different ends of the property! Each room is en-suite too. Beds are super comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped.
  : The only problem we had was that the WiFi didn't work for our entire 5-day stay. This appeared to be a provider (BT) problem and, therefore, out of the host's hands. I haven't reflected this in my review but I thought it was worth mentioning to warn future guests. In some ways, it was actually quite nice to be internet-less and there were plenty of DVDs in the house (and thankfully we had brought our own board games!). However, we did struggle to contact the host during our stay to let them know about this issue because there was no WiFi and none of us had phone signal at the property, despite being on different networks. I went to the local pub and called/messaged the host phone numbers on day 1 but got no response. On day 2, I called again while we were out and about, and they said they would look into it. I called again later that day to get an update, and they informed me it was a BT issue and out of their hands. On day 4, the services host dropped off a 4G router to try and fix the problem but unfortunately, this didn't work either (probably because there wasn't any phone signal!) The WiFi being down overall only affected our stay because we had planned for it to be working (and so hadn't pre-planned our journeys, hadn't downloaded playlists, etc...) This isn't the host's fault and so I haven't reflected this in my review. However, I did struggle to get hold of the hosts to report the issue (despite receiving many helpful messages from them before our stay) and it took a while to find a potential solution, which transpired actually not to be a solution. In future, I think it would be worth warning guests that (1) there is a risk the WiFi won't be working, to allow them to pre-plan a little, and (2) that they might not have any phone signal at all.
