“This was our third visit to 2 Chantry barns in three years so you know we love it.”
We are both in our eighties and find the pace and the amenities of Orford ideal for us. Two small things caused us a little concern with the house this time. The dishwasher seems to be very loose in its housing and makes an alarming noise as you close the front... and the shower head is showing distinct signs of wear- a simple replacement job.
The dishwasher housing has now been tightened and the shower head descaled now looking like new. Thank you for your feedback
