“I suppose it depends what you want, as a family, from a holiday.”
If you don't do much cooking, and enjoy watching TV with 'surround sound' in each room, then this is the place for you.
Our family dynamic however is different: in the evenings we like to cook good locally sourced produce, and sit, chatting and eating 'en famille' in the kitchen. Unfortunately the house does not lend itself to this; the facilities didn't work properly (oven/BBQ) and the undimmable overhead lighting in the kitchen was on a par with a second World War "interrogation" room.
On a plus side the bathrooms were clean, the beds clean but some not very comfortable - downside - leaking taps and pipes, and the garden area and most of the house in desperate need of some TLC.
Books and games for the children were appreciated. Decent beaches not quite as easily accessible as the description implies.
Hi Teresa,
I'm sorry that Maples didn't suit your holiday; we really try hard to ensure everyone enjoys their stay.
We have replaced the BBQ as you were right, it was not good enough.
We have had an engineer out to fix the SMEG Range, but they couldn't find an issue. We will keep an eye on it incase of an intermittent issue.
Unfortunately the kitchen lights are not dimmable; however we have added a couple of lamps to allow for a less bright lighting option.
All the best and thanks for the feedback.
