Sofaâs were ok but too small for 4 people to share. The shower was powerful and towels were nice and big. The kitchen had everything you needed. The outside in closed garden was nice but we found the first big of decking could be dangerous with children as it isnât fenced off at all but there is a gate in the other part which makes that secure. Overall we had a lovely stay and we would definitely return.

A welcome pack would of been a nice touch as we have had this with every other holiday company we have used in the past. We would definitely recommend this property.

Will definitely recommend the home to other friends and family. There were many pubs that we highly recommend but the ones that come to mind are the cherub inn, the seven stars, the royal castle hotel and the floating bridge. All excellent, the food at the seven stars and floating bridge was amazing and definitely worth a try. Thank you for the amazing holiday.
