    .for the amount of people to use ( larder fridge would be good in the utility -Coming to stock up wine cabinet/ fridge very dirty and broken

  • Elaine

    With a superb kitchen/diner, plenty of places to relax or play games, comfortable bedrooms and a big secure garden, it was perfect for our mixed aged group, ranging from two to seventy five. We really enjoyed our week finding some lovely walks and interesting places to visit. We would definitely like to return.

    . Everything was as described and in good order. We much appreciated the games room for table football and table tennism, and that recycling facilities for plastic and other waste was available. However we found the directions were not very helpful and accurate. It would be better if they named the side road down which you have to turn to reach Thwaitefield and make clear the entrance is opposite a car park. The keypad entry system for the double gates was not working when we arrived but a remote fob was quickly provided which we used. We were not aware however if the key pad was fixed during our week stay. We also felt there was insufficient toilet paper available for the 10 of us when we arrived so bought some rolls the day after arriving.
