The house was lovely and spacious. Perfect for our group of 8 to stay. The garden was massive and full of berries to pick. They were delicious! We had a good time. We heard that the place was sold and won't be a holiday home much longer but for all it's worth few things that could have been improved on are more and bigger sauce pans, pans and baking trays as cooking for 8 was a challenge. The fridge not keeping it's temperature so we had to rely on our cool boxes. We could have done with more dish soap and dishwasher tablets. The lady next door was an absolute delight to talk to. Overall we had an amazing stay at Rock Folly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
