Lovely stay with family and 2 dogs for an 80th birthday celebration. The location proved perfect for us to visit the places from treasured childhood memories. The layout was just right so that we could spend time together whilst cooking, eating or relaxing. We had everything we needed and some lovely touches like leaving us milk when we arrived late needing a cup of tea made such a difference. The hot tub area was an added bonus for a relaxing soak.

We stayed here as a family of 10 and 1 dog for our lovely mum’s 80th birthday. The accommodation was plenty big enough for us and the hot tub was a really lovely touch. The staff were friendly and helpful and we will definitely return. (The only little issue we had was the shower drainage in the downstairs bedroom. This was investigated but I feel it stile needs a good plunge to avoid flooding. Just a heads up on that one 🙂)

Had a week long stay with family of 8 (+dog and baby) The cottage itself was lovely, clean, fully equipped and felt like a home away from home. The little garden a stones throw away from the cottage was lovely and so was being able to get in the hottub! The girls at the complex that work there where absaloutly fantastic, friendly always had a good morning or hello for you, and had some good tips on where to go for the day etc.We will deffinetly be back for another visit, we miss it already!
