Stepping Stones is a spacious property with comfortable beds and a variety of amenities including a hot tub, sauna, and games room.

The property's cleanliness has been a concern for several guests, with reports of unclean surfaces, cobwebs, and dirty crockery. Some guests found the property to be clean, but the majority noted it could benefit from a deeper clean.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, with a quaint village setting, a picturesque stream, and proximity to a friendly local pub. Guests enjoyed the local walks and the convenience of nearby amenities.
Guests have found the beds to be exceptionally comfortable, often highlighting this aspect positively. The spaciousness and warmth of the house also contributed to the overall comfort.
While the property boasts a range of facilities including a hot tub, sauna, and games room, there are numerous reports of maintenance issues such as broken appliances, gym equipment, and sauna not working. The games room and hot tub are appreciated, but the need for repairs and updates is evident.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no consistent mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. While some guests mentioned welcome items like wine and bread, it is not clear if this is a standard practice.

Everyone enjoyed the games room, sauna and hot tub . Beautiful location with nice walks around overlooking a stream . However there are a few maintenance issues for example, loose door handle leading from kitchen to hall, large crack across the induction hob, cleanliness of shower head , broken picture in family room just left on chest of drawers , displays not working on gym equipment, football table not in working order and could do with new flights for the darts . Hot tub water was discoloured but after notifying owner this was rectified the following day. There was no welcome pack with instructions for care of the hot tub . However all that being said if these minor issues were rectified it would enhance this beautiful house even more . We would recommend it to large families as itâs well laid out and suited our group .

The village is lovely, with just enough local amenities. The games room is great but our group feel it could be improved even further with a TV on the wall and a pool table rather than a snooker table, which would then allow for further seating. A couple of the bathrooms have some minor updates that would enhance the standard of finish.
