We've just come back from an amazing weekend celebrating my Daughters' 18th birthday with Family. Otters view was beautiful, yes there are a few scratches here and there but don't let that put you off. It's very well equipped, the space in the house is brilliant and in our opinion it was much bigger and nicer than the pictures. It has a new settee in the lounge, the main bedroom is huge and the bathrooms are gorgeous! The only downside was the iron, it needs a new one, but we highlighted this on check out. The welcome pack was brilliant it had all the basics and more. We would definitely book Otters View again for a family or friends gathering.
