Great house for a family get together, 7 adults,2 kids and a dog had oceans of space. Kitchen is a fantastic place with all you could to cook your own meals with a great fridge and freezer space aswell. The kids loved watching their programmes on the giant screen Tv. Didn’t use the hot tub as weather not too great when we were back at house.Bedrooms all spacious , everyone to their own but 1 of party thought their bed slightly hard but we all slept well. Lounge a little smaller than imagined but all were comfortable and with kitchen size you don’t need it to be massive. Overall a really good property for large parties. Only minor niggles could have done with a shaving mirror in top floor en suite and house very clean on the surface but when you look a little deeper there were a few issues but certainly won’t stop us coming back again. Great weekend !!!

House was beautiful, very spacious, very well equipped. Very cosy. Only thing that let it down was the cleanliness. Oven trays had burnt old food, draws/ cupboards containing crumbs. Dirty towel in the bottom of the wardrobe with ? Blood on it.
