Spacious comfortable house. Very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering break. Lovely big secure garden. The house is in need of some tlc, the whole place needs decorating and a new shower in the en suite. The sofas in the living room were not the best. If you can see past the aesthetics then a large family or 2 smaller families could have a comfortable enough stay which would also be good value. The house is also in a good location but the garden is very overlooked. Due to the negatives I wouldn’t return

Great property, in a fab location! Our 2nd time renting this property for a 3 generation family get together with pups! Great space for a family. Would happily rent again but 2 issues could be addressed1. Cooker Great but very difficult to control temperatures as the temperature guides rotate independently of the actual gas temperature.2. A mop for the kitchen floor would be great especially during wet weather as dogs & kids are traipsing through.
