Such a great house to enjoy getting the family together. Plenty of space, big bedrooms. Beautiful countryside for walks. We all loved it and would definitely return

We have just got back from a lovely weekend, the house was fantastic. Our only issues we found was it was in the middle of a caravan site and very over looked. The images and description don’t explain this. When in winter this wasn’t too much of an issue we would have found it a little akward in warmer months using the outside space.Also although it is dog friendly dogs can get out it in not secure. The garden is also on a slope so wasn’t much grass space. However we loved the house itself and we would return but wished to be honest about the things we didn’t know before going.

Overall very good. Disappointed at the location as so close to caravan park. Could not fault the lay out of the property, so many places to get away on you own for a quiet read, the owner was lovely and very helpful and the place was spotless. The village has lots of amenities in a beautiful part of the country. But if you are looking for somewhere with space around you, then this might not be for you. The master bedroom could do with a new shower. As the picture is taken from the back of the property I think it deceives you into thinking there is more space around the property than there is.,
