The snooker table was a bit hit with everyone. The only downside has been lack of hot water in the showers upstairs, resulting in some of us ending up with cold showers in this winter and others queuing up for the downstairs shower. This has been a major inconvenience considering we were 11 of us staying in the property. Everything else was great and the property owner was kind and approachable all the time and provided lot of information about the property and places to visit.

Great house. Suited our needs. Clean and welcoming. Plenty of space for our family of 10. Living room and snooker room are fully separate and not part of the open plan. So able to take time out to chill if needed. Lovely pool and gardens. Will definitely be back. Thanks

The swimming pool was a huge success as the children were in it every day. The gardens are well maintained, but whilst our large dog had no desire to get through any gaps it might be a consideration for other guests with smaller ones. Other comments have mentioned that maybe some of the furniture is dated but as its all comfortable it really was not an issue The owner sends detailed instructions prior to arrival which are useful in navigating around this big house and advice for using the facilities. We would definitely book this property again and hope to return soon There are some lovely places to visit such as Alyn Waters Country Park and Erddig National Trust Property all within a 10 mile radius of the house
