No problem, the games room and pool kept everyone entertained during the day whilst the cellar bar and disco entertained us all at night, after first enjoying an evening meal around the 16 seater dining table. And then to bed in the large very comfortable bedrooms. Our only minor criticism would be that the kitchen requires an extra sink near the drinks area. Our party of 16 thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Facilities are very good but some of the kitchen equipment could do with an update. That is being very hypercritical! The pool area is fantastic and we enjoyed using the games room. The "cellar" bar got some use though I am not sure the neighbours would have approved of our family karaoke. Beds are very comfortable with great linen/towels. Jay ( the owner) met us on arrival and gave us the full tour and it was great to chat with him about the restoration. Ours was only a small family get together but this place is probably more appropriate for 10+ guests and makes for a great atmosphere

The standard of the property was outstanding and the children loved the pool area. We did have a power cut due to the storm but the owners were with us within the hour to make sure everything was ok. Very impressive house and we will definitely return.
