    “The barn was lovely but we all felt that it needed a bit of TLC.”

    The kitchen had cracked cupboards, the dishwasher door had it's white gloss covering missing. There needs to be a caution for the kitchen hot water and it is so hot it burnt 2 of the guests. The whole tap becomes that hot that when you go to put the cold tap on if you touch it with the side of your hand it burns you. All the wardrobes and chests of drawers in the bedrooms has at least one broken draw you couldn't use. It says there is a BBQ which there was but completely unusable as it was ...

    The kitchen had cracked cupboards, the dishwasher door had it's white gloss covering missing. There needs to be a caution for the kitchen hot water and it is so hot it burnt 2 of the guests. The whole tap becomes that hot that when you go to put the cold tap on if you touch it with the side of your hand it burns you. All the wardrobes and chests of drawers in the bedrooms has at least one broken draw you couldn't use. It says there is a BBQ which there was but completely unusable as it was filthy. The wheelie bin was full and smelt awful when we got there but that could do with the lack of instructions in the welcome pack to say it needs actually to be put out for the bin men to collect it. Welcome pack needs updating and more information. Couldn't find the WiFi code until we checked every single draw in the kitchen. I think this should be wrote in the welcome pack. Also about the bin collection. Hot tub was turned off when we got there by the wall, took a while to figure out how it worked. We had to call maintenance because it smelt funky like it hadn't been cleaned. Pillows in bedrooms where very flat could do with new ones. I asked for all rooms to be turned into doubles which wasn't done for one of them. Me and my husband had to sleep in the twin. Toilet needs a lock putting on like the bathroom. Because when there is a few of you staying it's nice to have that extra bit of security/privacy. The doors downstairs are all very creaky could do with oiling to not wake the whole house up in the middle of the night. The bedroom closest to the bathroom it's door latch is very stiff. Cobwebs and dust in the bedrooms in-between the wardrobes and drawers. We did have a lovely holiday apart from all that and we were very lucky with the weather. But we all felt the barn just lacked the extra attention to detail.
