We stayed at Marshlands (a seven-bedroom barn for up to 16 people, with a hot tub) for a short family holiday and were disappointed, especially given the premium cost.Key issues included:No one met us on arrival to explain the property, despite the houseâs size.The kitchen was uncleanâsticky surfaces, a filthy barbecue, a broken kettle, a snapped bin lid (leading to a fly infestation), and a partially functioning hob.The dining area was sticky, and the light above the table needed attention.A broken and dirty toilet seat.A non-functional smoke alarm.Motion-sensor landing lights kept waking our children; we had to improvise a âblindâ over a sensor.Loft windows offered no intermediate opening optionâeither fully open or shut.A severe fly, midge, and mosquito problem â something that should have been flagged so guests could prepare.Most seriously, the manager, Tina, turned up unannounced while an international lawyer in our party was on a multi-party conference call. A simple call, text, or message in advance would have avoided the disruption.Overall, this stay did not match the cost or our expectations from the photos and description. Weâve stayed in many properties over the years, and this was the most expensive â and regrettably, one of the most disappointing.:
