On arrival, there were lots of areas that were not clean, marks on the cupboards and hairs in the bathrooms and bedrooms. After we tidied this up, it felt much more like the place we were so pleased with in October. There were a few areas that started to feel a bit dated. Usually places are upgraded, however since our last stay, areas of the decking were damaged, the hot tubs lid no longer had a frame attached (making it hard to get on and off) and the fridge leans forward due to weight in the door. Although these all seem fairly minor, it was something that we didnât experience the first time round and therefore it becomes more noticeable. I hope these things can be resolved as we loved our week away and would like to return, we were just a little disappointed!

The beds were super comfy and slept so well. The hot tub was clean and fantastic. TV was good but the channels kept cutting in and out. We used the hoover at the end of our stay but it stank of dog and was quite unpleasant to use. The parking was good but only for 2 cars, we had 3 and it was a squeeze. The freezer was unusable as it needed defrosting, it was full of ice and we couldnt really use it. Same as the dishwasher, kept getting caught on the board underneath so didnt use it in the end. Overall very lovely though, was well decorated, clean sheets and lots of towels. Thank you, will definitely come back :)

It was very well equipped with everything you could need, it also looked like brand new pans in the kitchen. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk was provided and a lovely bottle of prosecco was waiting for us too. Hot tub was fabulous and maintained well during our stay. We had an issue where we lost our key and someone attended very quickly to help us out. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to family and friends.
