Wow! What can I say. Alan met us as we arrived, gave quick explanation of facilities and from there on it began. Welcome hampers did not disappoint. Lovely welcoming gift. Ideal as we arrived just after 7pm. The house itself is amazing, rooms very spacious and activities for the kids (10 and 14) Then there was the adult activities, sky sports, jacuzzi, darts and alcohol lol. Local shops between 3 and 7 miles away for local Co op and Spar, there is also the option of online shopping Sainburys etc ( we didnt do ) Giving back locally. Dog walks were ok near house, not alot of off the lead, apart from one secure area needed to lift the dog over, which wasn't an issue tbh. Alan has ponies and a horse right next to the house which was great, kids loved feeding them apples and carrots. The locals are very nice. Local chinese and chip shop were brilliant ( only 3 miles away ) I would highly recommend for a family or family and friends break. Alan and his family were very accommodating and friendly. Kids loved the whole experience as did the adults. Looking to book again in the future.
