  • Michael

    Good parking and a friendly and responsive owner as well. Two points to note. First, the doors are very heavy - generally fine, but we have young kids who struggled to open them. Could be sorted out with some doorstops! Second, there is no entertainment there (books, games, jigsaws, maps etc). May be worth providing.

  • Lisa

    Every bedroom being en-suite was a real bonus. The house has just about everything you need to cook meals at home, but it's also a great base to go and eat out without having to take a car. The only 2 things that could be added was an oven glove in the kitchen and maybe recommendations of where is good to eat or places to visit. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again.

  • Vicky

    One of the best places we have ever stayed and I would highly recommend to anyone, the photos do not do it justice! There were four adult couples staying and we all loved our own bedrooms and bathrooms and the space we had. Will definitely be coming back - thank you, we loved it!
