Lovely large garden and such a peaceful place. Very well equipped everything you could possibly need is there. As a family we spend our days out discovering the local area and it was lovely to come back to a peaceful relaxing space.
Alfred
We had 6 adults,3 young people and our family dog.All bedrooms were comfortable and and had lovely views of the garden or countryside.Good family bathroom and ensuite.The garden is beautiful and a dog could get out if left unattended.However we had no problem.As a family we like to cook and found the kitchen very well equipped which sometimes with rentals is unusual.Unlike some sanitized homes Holly Bank is a traditional house which we enjoyed very much.Just a thought,the welcome book could seriously do with updating and a Guest book for comments would be good.

The property was clean and well equipped, the garden was fabulous for our grandchildren to play and explore. Excellent all round.
