We had an excellent stay! The kitchen is well equipped with everything you can need, the only note I would make is that there were very minimal tea/coffee supplies and also dishwasher tablets and bin bags. The wine cooler is an excellent touch, but after we finally figured out how to switch it on, it took too long to reach a cold temperature. The bedrooms were all great, the master is exceptional! Extra towels would be a plus, some for the bathrooms and some for the hot tub. CCTV directly outside the back door near the hot tub was slightly off putting. Overall, this is a great property to stay at and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

A high quality property with a huge open plan main area. All the utilities are of high standard. The hot tub and decking were used despite the December fog and the large garden was ideal for the parties dogs. The bedrooms are ideal for a party of eight. The only negatives were the oven and some of the cookware was left unwashed by previous guests (who puts away baking trays with pizza on?). Guests should be aware that the decking area and car parking area are CCTV monitored. Contact was made with the owner during our stay and we received a prompt reply. Great property would recommend.

It was very warm spacious and comfy. The only thing missing was a tin opener? The hot tub could of been a tiny bit hotter if weâre being picky but apart from that all was perfect. A lovely stay was had by all and we will recommending it to friends and family.
