A comfortable spacious property in peaceful surroundings. The back garden though quite small was adequate to play games in. Very large kitchen/diner but cluttered. No cupboard space to put our food stuff and equipment. Oven was in need of attention. We were disappointed that there was no welcome pack as advertised. Only a large dome covered cake, very impressive but not real.Overall though, a good holiday property for a large family.
