Everything you could possibly need to make your stay really special. We had a lovely weekend celebrating my 60th birthday which was made even better with the pool and bar/party room. Everything was perfect, thank you âºï¸

.. and the swimming pool loved by all. Almost every provision thoughtfully supplied, much appreciated attention to detail. Pool table a great addition to this years stay! 'Bedhouse' as we call it, caters for our three generations, to enjoy some precious family time away together. I would mention another large sofa in the lounge may be an idea, as 14 of us but only 9 can be comfortably seated together. Also, no clothes hanging space in downstairs bedroom. Only complaint was Aga unexpectedly not working on arrival, and we brought convenience food for our first evening, of 14 fresh pizzas and sides... impossible to cook in one conventional oven, so our first meal was a disaster! :( Also, there was a problem with the heating, and we were cold much of the time, as almost October and temperatures had dropped.
