Mudeford Swans

Pros +

• David is an excellent host, he waited for us at arrival. He was kind and welcoming, the upstairs rooms were simple but comfortable and clean. Sheets and towels were fresh, beds comfortable. One bathroom and one extra toilet served us well for a one night stay. We booked all the rooms for a family trip, so it was okay to share the bathroom. The breakfast was in a friendly, family-like atmosphere, lots of cereal to choose from and plentiful croissant, toast and jam. The house was warm at night and not far from the beach. Microwave, kettle and cups and plates in all rooms, host did all the washing up for us. (Guests have no use of the kitchen). We came on a nice spring day, so all nine of us could eat in the garden, the host readily providing all the necessary chairs and cushions. Otherwise there is no communal space to spend time together. At booking one must realize that it is not a whole house to use, just bedrooms.
• The welcoming friendly attitude. Very flexible facilities in room.

Cons -

• The arrangement of rooms downstairs is rather funny, to access the double room (sleeping three, double bed with an extra bed) we had to either walk through the host's living room, kitchen and study or go out the front door and access it through the path from the garden. This was rather inconvenient at night as the toilet was accessible through the same route. The house is dated, in need of refurbishment, shower has hardly any pressure. Lots of extension leads everywhere.
• Property was cold with no apparent auxiliary heating. Hard floor even in bedroom also cold
