The Baler House

Overall, the details of this accommodation are outdated and need to be corrected.

The directions to the property were poor, with no signage visible. The address was only found after several attempts up and down Strawberry Lane, crossing a very uneven ford and eventually following a bumpy farm track. First impressions were good in terms of cleanliness and layout. The fresh flowers and cream tea were a welcoming touch. However, although tins for tea, coffee, sugar, and biscuits were provided, they were mostly empty. The accommodation itself was clean, with quality linen provided, and the beds were comfortable. The bath proved difficult to access, particularly for those needing assistance, and a grab rail would have been helpful. The description listed a smart TV and a wall‑mounted thermostat, but neither were present. The TV was a Freeview TV with no smart functionality, and there was no accessible control for the heating, which operated independently. Given the cold weather during our stay, it would have been preferable to have control over the temperature. Other issues included a lack of hooks for dressing gowns, no soap or towel in the kitchen, and limited kitchen equipment, such as the absence of a suitable measuring jug. The outdoor space could also be improved. The cushions stored outside were dirty and mouldy, and unsuitable for use. The garden furniture would benefit from replacement cushions, and a parasol would be a useful addition. After several days, we decided to leave a day early. Overall, while there were some positive aspects, the property would benefit from better maintenance, updated facilities, and a more accurate and up‑to‑date description.
