A lovely place to stay, well equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms. As from previous post it could do with a little TLC in areas but nothing that wouldn’t affect the stay. There was a strong smell of what we could only describe as ‘wet dog’ when we arrived but that soon went once doors & windows were open. Hot tub was perfect just make sure you put the heating on before. Our only niggle with the hot tub was the curfew that 9pm. We just wished that it was a little later on the Friday & Saturday we were staying. We would definitely stay here again.

I have recently just got back from here after a nice long bank holiday weekend with my family and wow what an accommodation I would definitely recommend this place!

Nice house in a good location with the benefit of a hot tub. Generally good, but multiple small issues that could easily be rectified to increase the star rating. These issues have been bought up by previous customers. A little tired in places, lack of cleaning equipment and supplies, no extra towels for swimming or hot tub and kitchen equipment basic and worn. If the owners would address these issues it could be a perfect little get away.
