It is remote so perfect if you want to get away from it all. The hot tub is lovely! It was clean and warm upon arrival. The property itself was very clean, kudos to the people who give it a thorough clean. When we arrived, we were greeted with Prosecco and goodies which was lovely! The Christmas tree was such a lovely touch too, set the festive scene. The kitchen is well equipped, you just need to explore it to find what you need. Everything is modern and works well. I would say there needs to be more drinking glasses though, there were only 2 in the property. The heating is new and works quickly so we were warm all the time. The shower is warm and powerful, there isnât a bath so if youâve got kids, be mindful of this. There were only 2 towels so we did have to do a wash, it may be worth proving a few more especially for those using the hot tub. We used the main bedroom and Iâve got to say, we didnât sleep too well. The bed is too small. Itâs a double but you could very easily get fit a king size in there. My partner isnât the smallest so we felt so cramped. The bed frame is also really squeaky so if youâre a fidgeter like me, you do risk waking the other person up. The mattress itself was good. The pillows were thin so we did have to take more from the spare bedroom. I really do think upgrading to a king size would make the stay much more enjoyable, Iâm sure most guests wouldnât mind paying a bit extra for a larger bed. As a side note, the hairdryer doesnât work properly, it cuts out after a few seconds. Overall we had a lovely stay and it was wonderful being able to take our dog. The property is modern and stylish. We did call the hosts once to work out the fire and they were friendly and quick to answer. Thank you for a lovely week :)

A lot of things to do that were a short(ish) journey in the car. Well equipped kitchen and loved having a washing machine, made coming home less stressful as could do it before we left. Very cozy and great heating especially with the nights being in the minuses. Only reason it wasnât 10/10 was the bed, but thatâs more personal preference, I suffer with nerve damage so most holiday lets beds are uncomfortable for me. Definitely recommended!
