“Overall Lavender House provided us with a good base for our holiday with well appointed facilities and plenty of space.”
On arrival there was a strong smell of paint in the kitchen.It looked like the ceiling had been recently painted with evidence of roller spray and splashes on the units, fittings and floor around the room. It also looked like only one part of the room had been done as the other part looked very tired.
We felt that the bed linen, particularly the duvets were in need of updating and the towels were also showing signs of use with some being stained. If this is a matter for the linen company then ...

We felt that the bed linen, particularly the duvets were in need of updating and the towels were also showing signs of use with some being stained. If this is a matter for the linen company then it should be addressed.
There were a number of maintenance issues, blinds not working, curtain poles bent out of line and toilet flush handles missing parts and falling off. I managed to repair one blind and reposition the curtain pole but this should be addressed by the letting agent not the guest!
There is a shed which guests don’t have access too so we couldn’t store our bikes securely (this could easily be achieved) and the understairs cupboard is full of paint pots which could easily be moved to the shed to give guests more space for storage. We ended up having cycling’s helmets and picnic blankets oiled up in corners of the house rather than stowed away.
Lavender House was a great house for our holiday and our friends have rebooked for next year already. With as very small amount of effort this could be an excellent place, please make it so for our next visit!
