The house was decorated for Christmas which was lovely and the drinks and Christmas cake was a nice touch. The area was lovely and beautiful views. There are a few things we noticed that would have improved our stay. In the description it states there is access to a gym, this is not true and the owners said there is no gym. In the pictures there are two living rooms, there is only one living room as one has been turned into a bedroom. The hot water gets turned off during the day which isnât ideal when people are having a shower so we needed to message the owner about this. In the description it stated the kitchen is fit for a chef, there wasnât any baking trays. There also isnât enough seats at the table for 8 people when the house itself fits up to 8 people. There were no instructions for the thermostat and the house was boiling. There was a leak in the bathroom that leaked into the kitchen and we needed to put bowls down, the owner came round to look at this but the leak continued. Some of the lamps in the bedroom were not working and some had no bulbs. If these things were addressed it would be the perfect stay.

7 adults stayed and there was plenty of room for all. We had elderly parents in their 80s with us so the downstairs bedroom was perfect for them. The property was done to a high standard throughout and the beds were very comfortable. We walked into a lovely warm and welcoming home upon arrival. We didnât want to leave and my parents are already wanting to book with family again but for a longer stay next time!
