    “A very well maintained property with new furnishings throughout.”

    The kitchen was well equipped and bedroom/bathroom had lovely decor. The property felt spacious and was well heated with the log burner being a bonus (although very little wood was left for our use). The only downside was the lack of a utility area to hang wet clothes but we managed by using the bathrooms and store cupboard. The lack of carpets (wooden flooring throughout) was perfect for our dog and the tiled kitchen area was very useful to dry him in when when he was wet. Good off street ...

    The kitchen was well equipped and bedroom/bathroom had lovely decor.

The only downside was the lack of a utility area to hang wet clothes but we managed by using the bathrooms and store cupboard. The lack of carpets (wooden flooring throughout) was perfect for our dog and the tiled kitchen area was very useful to dry him in when when he was wet. Good off street parking and a lovely quiet location within Thornthwaite with it being just close enough to walk into Braithwaite to eat in the evening.

    Thank you for feedback. Sorry you didn’t feel there was very much wood left and although this is meant to just be a starter pack as per the description we will double check the amounts being left. Property Owner
