Holly house was perfect. Great location and the house itself was wonderful. Clean, tidy with everything in it that you would need. 5 lovely bedrooms all with en-suite facilities. Dining room was the best, table big enough for the 10 guests with ample space. Situation in the centre of the village with plenty car parking. Would definitely book again.

Fabulous house!Just two minor things for others to know - no downstairs toilet! One there was, was in basement and not in use. Another Was regarding gated driveway. When only one person arriving/leaving in car there is no way to keep gate open so would recommend a large boulder be left which would be perfect!

A lovely place to stay for a family get together, garden was a bonus and so close to local amenities. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen and a BbQ too, would thoroughly recommend 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
