A home away from home

This property feels like you are house sitting. Everything you expect and more was provided. Having travelled from London where the accommodation varied, this home was a relief to stay in. The only real problem for us was that my spouse is very tall so had to duck when using the stairs.

Nice charming house but not ready for paying customers

Nice charming house and they took my complaints seriously. It was pretty dirty, smelly sofa, sticky floor and especially a dirty kitchen including the fridge. Still got that leftover bread in the freezer someone was complaining about in his reviews. Mentioned it to the manager and they send someone to clean it again. Didn&#39t really make any differences.

Bracken property in Dormansland

Homely feel to the property. Good location. The stay was like being in a friend's house while they are away: half-used bottles of sauce and pickle in the fridge etc. That's nice in a way, but several areas could be improved with little or no cost: a) no instructions on using heating, managing the rubbish etc b) no heating when we arrived - in October guests should have control of heating c) poor cleanliness, and dirty plates, mugs, table mats etc left in cupboards d) there are bedside lamps but no sockets to plug them into e) as far as I could see, there is no smoke/heat detector in the kitchen f) there is a leak of water into the cupboard under the sink. Overall, we had a nice break at Bracken, and we knew the accommodation would be simple because of the value price, but the matters above would make the property more attractive to future hirers.

Good location, could be a lovely place to stay.

Location. Kitchen well equipped once we found the cutlery in a cardboard box. Cleanliness. Nice area for dining in extension. With a little more thought, could be a lovely place. Uncomfortable low settee, had to bring dining room chair in to lounge area to watch TV. No welcome book&#47instructions. Food left in fridge. Back bedroom had no bulbshade in main light, and no sockets by the bed. One of the Bedside lamps in front bedroom had no socket to put lamp in. Somebody&#39s pizzas and pitta bread were left in freezer. It felt like someone was living there and had to leave quickly. Details said parking for 2 vehicles, however one of the spaces is taken up by a red car, which I assume belongs to the owner. It is such a shame, as with a few tweaks this would be a lovely cottage to stay in. Doors are quite stiff to open.

Günstige Lage, gute Ausstattung

Das kleine Haus mit einem schönen Wintergarten liegt in der Nähe zahlreicher interessanter Parks und Schlösser und relativ nah beim Flughafen Gatwick. Das Haus befindet sich an einer Durchgangsstraße. Im Ort fußläufig drei Pubs mit gutem Essen, kleiner Laden und Post Office in der Nähe. Das Haus selbst hat eine sehr gut ausgestattete Küche mit allen möglichen Geräten (ohne Spülmaschine, aber im Urlaub isst man ja sowieso eher auswärts). Reich dekorierte Innenausstattung, kleines Bad mit Dusche und Badewanne, steile und sehr schmale Treppe ins Obergeschoss. Ausführliche Beschreibung der technischen Gegebenheiten und der Umgebung war zur Hand.
