One of the deciding factors of booking here was that the hot tub was covered which came in very handy when it poured down one afternoon! On arrival there was cake, juice and Prosecco amongst other things and after 5 hour drive coffee and cake went down a treat. The property was immaculate all the way through and the kingsize bed was very comfy. Im already planning another stay for next year!
