5+ stay you will not be disappointed- we visited last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was just perfect and Karen the host is very welcoming, attentive, and quick to respond. We decided to return for another two weeks and was a little apprehensive as a lot can change In a year ! Not Pete’s place we found some changes which are fabulous but the same 5+ stars remain the same - fantastic property and host- Karen you deserve this ! Well done - The ‘Turner’s **

We really enjoyed our stay at Pete’s Place and particularly loved the garden space. The kitchen is really well equipped and had everything we needed for the week. The house was very clean & homely. Karen sent some local recommendations through to us which we tried and loved.

Pete's place was beautiful. I lovely place to wind and relax. It was really lovely. It wouldn't normally work for our family as we are a family of 6. But 2 of ours were away with school, so we just had 2 kids. There was just 2 points that my husband wasn't keen on. We have had many hot tub holidays. He prefers them to be under cover as when it rains its not the nicest being warm below and freezing cold rain hitting your head. The other was we couldn't use the drive as its a shared drive, and as we are only on holiday. But we thought there should be some sort of agreement added to this type of driveway if this is the case to allow everyone to use it. Otherwise it was lovely, great lot of outside space. It was kept lovely and warm and was lovely to be in. I didn't like the boiler coming on at 5:30, as it makes a noise, it was nice to be warm but I'm not sure if that needs looking at. I get disturbed by the smallest of noise, and this really disturbed my sleep, it took me to the last night to be used to this and ignore it.
