A wonderful spot pretty much everything you could need on the property to enjoy a nice relaxing break. Owner was very helpful and welcoming. I would one hundred percent recommend it to friends and family. Good points dog toy box, table tennis, jacuzzi, football, pool table, plenty of space well equipped house. What I'd say would make it that bit more special a nice welcoming pack would have been a nice touch places we stayed before done this and it's a nice gesture. Some sort of shelter for the jacuzzi we didn't spend alot of time in it as it was just to hot outside but would also be good if it was raining. That being said we have had a great relaxing week away and will most likely return in the future.
