We book this particular venue every year and have already booked for 2025. I would buy this property if it ever came up for sale, we already affectionately call it our 2nd home

Loads of space for the money, lovely warm heating system, enclosed garden for the dogs. The location is lovely, quiet and reasonably secluded, with only the odd farm vehicle or car passing on the lane during the day. The beds could do with better mattresses, and the remotes for the TV and Freesat box are a bit worn out and hard to use. The kitchen could also do with a tin opener! But these were all minor niggles that couldn't spoil a lovely week at the bungalow. We are very likely to book again!

It is in a wonderful setting, total peace and quiet. The property was spotlessly clean. The furniture is a bit tired and most of the recliner mechanics dont work. Some of the crockery needs replacing due to chips and scratches. The hot tub was a welcome addition even though again it could do with a bit of attention, no doubt these things are due to the amount of use they get and not everyone being as respectful as they should be. It would have been useful to have some information regarding local shops and supermarkets, or an option to order a basic starter pack of bread, milk, eggs due to the remoteness of the property and the late check in time, especially in the winter months when it gets very dark very quickly. It would also have helped to know what day the refuse was collected especially for a two week stay as the bin isn't very big. That being said it didn't stop us having a lovely time.
