    The property really suited the dynamics of the family and suited all from young to old. The games room was a real hit for everyone and kept people entertained for hours. The main house appears to be larger on the inside then what you see from the outside and was well laid out although this was on different levels it was not an issue even for our blind dog who after a day or two could make his way around safely. On arrival coming through the front door my initial thought was that there was a danger of people hitting there head on the underside of the spiral staircase - As it happened only my wife managed to do that so all good !!!! Because of the time of year we were not able to enjoy the grounds so much but did manage to get out and have some family photos taken. Later on in the year I am sure families would enjoy the space to enjoy ball games etc. It was nice to have the garden room / conservatory as well as lounge for people to gather - all rooms were well heated by the underfloor heating. A couple of issues that came to light as your always going to get on a property of this size were only minor - were the lounge door to outside if opened was extremely hard to shut. The kitchen tap was loose , Apparently the one electric blind in the bedroom didn’t work , the jacuzzi bath when jets were operating a small amount of black particles came through so perhaps needs a service - also the controls only worked on two buttons ( could do with a waterproof instruction sheet that could be left in bathroom ). Finally I could not find any instruction on what to do with ash from log fire - so perhaps a external metal bin or designated area could be specified. I would thoroughly recommend this property and the location being close to several places of interest - Salcombe and Burgh island and stunning coast .Would have no hesitation in booking this property again.

    Cooking for all of us was really easy with such a lovely well-equipped kitchen. Our Grandsons particularly enjoyed the games room and outdoor space. We really enjoyed our week there and would definitely love to go back!
