Easy to get to and great and easy to go places as just off the A30. Our Husky loved the garden just needed to watch out for a couple of holes in the hedge. Instructions on how the heating works would be good. Over all we would go back to same house.

Pots and pans could do with some replacing,we couldn't use 1 frying pan as it was rusty inside. Could do with a couple more big saucepans. The house is lovely and comfortable but it's damp,all our clothes felt damp come the end of the week,there was mould on the net curtain in the downstairs bedroom. Apart from these few things we had a lovely holiday and would definitely recommend. Asked for the hot tub to be cleaned as there were alot of us using it and a man was there early the next day(thankyou so much). The beds were really comfortable. The multi table was great,could probably do with a tumble dryer as we had rain during the week and struggled to dry towels from being in the hot tub. And the bath towels. The area was lovely and didn't really notice the A30 which was quite close. The garden was great and secure.
