Good size bedrooms and comfortable beds with nice bedding. Great communication with any questions or requests answered. We would highly recommend the old police house.

The house was very comfortable and very well equipped. We found the house to be very clean with good linen and towels. The hot tub and fire pit were a great bonus and again very clean. The location was great for travelling around the area. The information pack and general communication was good. I would certainly recommend this property .

We loved staying here. The house is beautiful, more than enough room for 14 adults. A big dining table where 14 people can sit together is a rarity and but great in this house. It was clean and well maintained. There are lots of books and games around to keep everyone entertained. The outside space was great, the hot tub had a canopy over it so it could be used in the rain. The fire pit was big enough for everyone to sit around it. It did say parking for 5 cars but got in 6 with no issue. A lovely property that we would definitely go back too.
