Excellent accommodation loved the swimming pool, hot tub , especially the pin ball and juke box. The grounds were ideal for playing games and exercising. We found the owners very helpful. We enjoyed our holiday.

Very disappointed with downstairs accommodation from the double bedroom it meant walking through the living room and dining room to get to toilet and shower room which was located in the utility room and for the single bedroom a walk through the kitchen to the same facilities. For house this size a basic built in oven is insufficient. Grounds of property lovely but water in swimming pool off putting as water cloudy.

Lovely house for a get together. This was our second stay here as a group of friends. The pool and hot tub were put to good use during the weekend despite it being December. The lounge has enough seating to easily accommodate the 11 of us as did the dining table and the bedrooms are each of a good size. Areas of the house are starting to look a bit tired in places and the plumbing is quite noisy but these things did not put us off having a great weekend. Therefore I would recommend this accommodation as a good place to stay for large groups.
