    Spacious, warm, comfortable. Good location.

    It pretty much matched upto precious reviews. All rooms were clean and tidy. Lovely and warm too. Washer and driver were very useful. The only (almost catastrophic!) issue was on arrival at the property we could not get in. I had telephoned the owners (on both numbers) 3 days before arrival. Then messaged the day before. Still no answer or reply. Had to google an actual phone number for Sykes who said they would try and contact the owner. Ten minutes after calling sykes, the owner called with the code to the key safe. So it was a bit stressful just getting in, but hope this will be a one off and the owners will monitor their messages more frequently in future.

    We were a little anxious whether there would be enough plates, pots, cutlery, glasses etc that you need for Christmas day but they did not disappoint we never at any point though "oh we could do with more of this" we actually fed 13 on Christmas day as we had our grandparents and the table fit everyone round comfortably. The property itself is next to quite a busy main road but you do not hear much noise from the road whilst in the house (unless you have a window open) it was very warm and plenty of seating for all. The property have 2 bathrooms, 1 ensuite and a downstairs WC which was just perfect for the amount of people we had stopping. The only downside was we could hear ever noise in the house whether you were downstairs or on the top floor we could hear every movement, cough or laugh. The beds were okay but quite creaky... I do think some parts of the property require a little TLC the showers especially but saying thus everything was as clean as possible and the property smelt clean. The parking was perfect for us we had a van and x2 4X4's, you share the drive way with next door who also can fit 3 cars in the parking area. We didn't have any issues manoeuvring and getting on/off the property. The property also has a garage you can use which has a fridge in there which we didn't use but a perfect addition especially if you have a lot of people stopping with you. There is a small fridge in the kitchen itself and a bigger single standing fridge freezer in the understand cupboard. Happy with our stay and would stay again. The Spencers & Extended Family x
