Had a lovely stay.

The property is very spacious with plenty of room for large groups. We particularly liked the large kitchen/diner and the upstairs lounge. The kitchen was very well equipped although we did struggle a bit with the cooker as the instructions seemed complicated. Minor faults were no hand towels in any of the bathrooms and the plug in the sink in the en-suite (downstairs bedroom off the kitchen) was not working properly. This did not spoil our trip though, our party of 9 had a great time and were fairly impressed with the property.

We were a family group of 12 ranging from age 5 to 78 and it felt spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and the welcome drinks, biscuits etc were much appreciated. The only thing that could do with some improvement is the outside seating area as the benches around the wooden tables are pretty rotten, some of the deckchairs are quite tatty and the BBQ has a hole in it. A hairdryer would also be a useful addition to the house. We had a great time and would recommend this property to others.
