We had a lovely time at this lovely house. Everything was lovely. Great spaces to chill. Amazing garden. Well stocked with everything you can need to have a comfortable stay. However, there is a few things that would have made us give this place 5 stars. 1) it could do with another shower especially in the ensuite, having only one shower and a bath that plug was broken was an issue 2) there was an issue with the water being too hot even on lowest temp in the shower. 3) some of the floor coverings are aged and stained etc 4) lots of rubbish in cupboards and personal belongings. 5) alot of the furniture was showing its age with loose hinges and handles etc.6) some of the garden furniture is missing cushions. All these things are just small hiccups that have made this an otherwise 5* house into a 4. we recommend this place to families looking for plenty space in a big house with a great garden and believe it to be good value for money.

This house is beautiful and huge. We spent 5 nights there and it was perfect for us. The village is quiet and locals seemed friendly. We even had the church bells going off for about 2 hrs one night as the people practiced. Was a lovely surprise. We had family who we hadnt seen in years round and the space was perfect and the children loved the garden and snooker table. Thanks again Suzy for you kind messages.
