Tranquility, In grounds of Dower house on large country estate in the Candover's

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay, and have a safe trip back!

Dear Aatikah, Thank you for your feedback. I want to clarify that your request to cancel your stay and receive a full refund was submitted after you had already checked in and decided that the property’s rural location—which is clearly described in the listing—did not suit your transportation needs for a nearby convention. As you noted, Uber is not widely available in this area, which is standard for a countryside retreat and is outlined in the property details. Regarding the cleanliness concerns you’ve raised: I take maintenance and hospitality seriously. The property is thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to each guest’s arrival. The items you mentioned—such as the unopened wine and a sealed juice carton—are often left as a courtesy for arriving guests, not as signs of neglect. I regret that your expectations were not met, but I stand by the condition and accuracy of my listing. The property is indeed a secluded farmland retreat, as advertised, and offers beautiful scenery, private acres, and recreational amenities like a tennis court. It is best suited for guests seeking a quiet getaway, and I encourage future visitors to review the location details carefully to ensure it aligns with their travel plans. I wish you the best in your future travels. Sincerely, Peter

Rodica, I’m so happy your old dog got a new lease of life, staying with us. Please come back soon. Peter

Thanks Tara for your suggestions. I didn’t realise you were freezing and would only have been too happy to extend the central heating times if you’ve asked me! I will follow your advice and add the missing utensils in the kitchen.
