The location was brilliant for us, almost next door to the sailing club where I took part in an event. I liked the additional parking availability where I could put my boat trailer. I liked the quirkiness of the accomodation which was a barn conversion into 3 separate apartments. I liked that some coffee and tea were supplied and a toilet roll in the bathroom. It was a lovely quiet location. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The bathroom and toiletries were good. The wifi was great which turned out to be important because my mobile phone service didn't work at the location! Overall we enjoyed our stay despite the things we didn't like listed below. We did not receive the key code to get the keys before we arrived. The farm gamekeeper came by shortly after our arrival and was able to give us the code! Upon entry we noticed a water stain and a significant paint crack on the kitchen ceiling below the bathroom which we reported. It didn't give a good first impression but didn't affect our stay otherwise. The kitchen seats were showing a lot of wear and tear and needed new covers. The oven and hobs were quite dated but worked ok. The Microwave didn't work but the microwave combi grill did! This was a bit of a problem as we bought microwavable food with us. The microwave needs replacing. It would have been nice if a kitchen roll had been supplied. The bathroom toilet bowl was badly stained and gave a bad impression. We asked Host & Stay and booking.com to combine my two separate bookings into a single booking so we didn't have to leave the apartment for a cleaner to come in mid stay. We didn't get a clear reply and the bookings were not combined but we stayed in the apartment anyway!
