It's the most magical, beautiful bungalow and grounds we've stayed in. It sleeps 7, there was only two of us plus 2 dogs, but we never felt as if it was too big. We were always warm and cosy. The bungalow is very well laid out...the master bedroom is huge with lovely double doors leading onto a balcony...there's an ensuite with bath and shower and there's plenty of storage room too. The bed was so comfy. The main bathroom has the most wonderful shower which we used most of the time. We did have a peek at the other bedrooms which were all very roomy and beautiful. The kitchen was absolutely wonderful with soooo much room to store things and the window seat is lovely just to sit and look at the views. My favourite room is the dining/morning room with it's huge windows looking out to the gardens. Sitting there on a morning watching the sun come up over the lake was just so beautiful. There is another toilet and sink off this room which is handy if there are a few more people staying there. There is a utility that you walk into from the front door which is great when you have Been out all day and you can just leave your boots there. We fed our dogs in there too. The grounds were also huge with a wrap around garden and then a beautiful laid lawn area with fencing all around. The lake is also the owners where their cows drink from, this is all fenced off so dogs or children can not get to it although we still had to watch our smaller dog as she did get through the fence a couple of times so we kept her to the top of the garden by the bungalow or on a long lead down the bottom. Perhaps a bit of wire fencing over the original fencing at the bottom would stop any small dogs getting through. We had a lovely warm welcome from the owners Sharon and Phil and a lovely basket of goodies waiting for us which was much appreciated. Everything about hole park was just fantastic so if you want solitude, relaxation and to just chill out and you don't mind travelling to places then this is the place to go. Our dogs loved it too and the weather was fabulous, we were very lucky to have the sunshine everyday.....thank you Sharon and Phil for letting out this fabulous place we will definitely be back.

Everything you needed was provided for and the dogs really enjoyed the beautiful garden. We were a party of three families so there were areas indoors for everyone to have a quiet space if they wanted it and room to all be together in comfort too. Would certainly recommend The Hole to future guests

What really strikes you is the amazing amount of space on offer and the homely feel of the place. The beds were really comfortable and the attention to detail was amazing even down to the nightlights to guide you down the corridor at night. The only negative I can think of is the fact that there was no mirror in our bedroom (kingsize without en-suite) but thatâs easily sorted. We had a wonderful stay and I will keep an image of the beautiful view from the sun room window in my mind for ever. A truly amazing place and would love to come back.
