Well appointed, cosy place in...
Liked: Location, facilities, decor, comfort. Really everything I could’ve wanted and more. I also really loved the privacy. Excellent.
Disliked: I respected the request to leave my shoes in a tray outside the property- the next morning my shoes were freezing, so I’m not sure about that one. The TV signal was a bit sketchy.

Good - as I expected
Liked: Location, how clean and comfortable it was
Disliked: I struggled to find the place and when I called the number, nobody picked up the phone. After a long day of work this wasn’t welcome - especially as in the end I had to ask a neighbour.

A short stay in a...
Liked: The location was excellent as there is a footpath opposite the main gate, leading right the river path. The studio apartment was attractive inside- had everything we needed for a short stay. It was a quiet location with an easy walk to the local shops, pubs / restaurants. The instructions on finding the apartment were clear. Parking right outside was safe with plenty of room for a car.
Disliked: We couldn't get the TV to function onto the main channels (BBC 1 ITV1) . The hob worked ok after a while but kept switching on and off so we don't know if the pans were compatible to an induction hob. The plate in the microwave still had a bit of food on! We weren't sure about how to lock the key away upon departure. The sink in the bathroom was quite small, especially for shaving. These are minor details as we enjoyed our stay.

Amazing calming place
Liked: The location is perfect if you just want to isolate yourself from the world and be somewhere quiet, but still very close(walking distance) to supermarket and takeaway shops and few pubs and coffee shops.The studio I stayed in has everything in the Kitchen to be able to cook and have a meal, it has even wine glasses which I was very happy about. Bed and pillows are sooo comfy! Everything I needed for a weekend away on my own. Please follow the instructions that the owner sends you as Google Maps will lead you to the main house, if you booked a studio or the lodge, you must follow the instructions from the host.
Disliked: My only suggestion to the owners is maybe to put a bit of lighting on the driveway to the studio which will help if you are going without a car, if you go with a car this shouldn't be an issue. I struggled a bit with the dark and quietness walking alone to get to the studio through the dark driveway.

Disappointing
Liked: Lovely facilities in a nice and quiet area.
Disliked: On the first night i was woken by the washing machine early hours of the morning even though the dial was pointing towards the off position. Had to pull the washer out and unplug to get it to stop. On the second morning of my stay i was woken again a couple of hours before check out to the sound of banging and a hoover in the room next door. It looked like they were re organising or decorating the room. No consideration for other people staying, especially considering i had a long 8 hour drive awaiting me the same day. Wouldnt stay again next time i am in the area because of this.
