Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but overall, guests are highly satisfied and many plan to return.
Most guests found the property clean and presentable, especially during festive seasons. However, a few mentioned areas that could be cleaner, such as windows and a fridge, slightly affecting the score.
The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, with proximity to a Michelin-starred hotel and local pub. The surrounding hills and countryside offer outdoor activities, contributing to a high score.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with large beds and multiple en-suite bathrooms. The presence of wood burners and a well-equipped living area adds to the comfort level.
The facilities, including a tennis court and space for children, are well-used and appreciated. Some guests experienced issues with heating and maintenance, but overall satisfaction with the facilities is high.

A fabulous place for our family get together. All the rooms were spacious and extremely comfortable meaning we could all be together and have plenty of room. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly think of, which made cooking for our large group very easy. The welcocme basket, milk and juice was a lovely touch. The grounds were gorgeous with lots of space for outdoor games and sitting in the sunshine. The indoor tennis court and table tennis table were well used and the lawn too! We did a walk from the house one day and the views were spectacular. A drink in the pub on the way back for a roast was great. This is such a beautiful part of the country and there's so much to do in the area it was perfect for us all, 25 year to 85 year old alike. We will be back!
