    “Very nice, spacious and well appointed property with great views over Place Fell.”

Bedding was comfortable but ground floor bedding was 100% polyester so this made it hard to sleep due to temperature regulation issues. The kitchen was well equipped included a very large slow cooker. The oven is only a single oven, somewhat limiting, one shelf/tray slipped to one side and anything rested on the oven door when opened flat slid towards the user. The EV charger ...

    Nicely furnished, good quality fittings and furniture, comfy sofas and beds (except the two single beds were too soft). Bedding was comfortable but ground floor bedding was 100% polyester so this made it hard to sleep due to temperature regulation issues. The kitchen was well equipped included a very large slow cooker. The oven is only a single oven, somewhat limiting, one shelf/tray slipped to one side and anything rested on the oven door when opened flat slid towards the user. The EV charger was a brilliant addition, thank you, it made a great difference. The issue with the smoke detector battery was dealt with within the day.Lighting in lounge area poor - difficult to read books / papers when sitting on sofas. The owners might think about getting a larger fridge. There were only four of us and we ran out of room (Always a difficult call for holiday property owners as many tenants just won’t cook at all).

    We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Deer How Farm. We also think the views are wonderful! Thank you very much for providing feedback. We invested in all new beds, bedding and mattresses, and are pleased that you liked the furnishings overall. There is a small second fridge in the utility room as we are aware that occasionally groups do want to make use of a bit more fridge space. We know a lot of guests make the most of being within walking distance to shops, pubs and restuarants. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay. Property Owner
