The hot tub and pool table were a great success. The area is good, with walks from the property.

The only small constructive comments we could make is some of the door handles were stiff or loose, we couldnât work the dishwasher despite being shown, we think there were a few issues with it. The gate outside was hard to close, just small general maintenance nothing major at all, we just loved it here, thank you!

The photos really didn't do justice to the house, it was even better than it looked. The children enjoyed the safe enclosed gardens and ran around to their hearts content whilst the adults gathered for drinks and buffet in the huge kitchen area. Only slight causes for concern were a couple of squeaky doors and a disfunctioning dishwasher. The local pub The Park provided us with a lovely Sunday dinner. Would highly recommend for any family gathering or as a venue for celebrations with friends. Superb facilities in a quite peaceful location with stunning views.
