The owner let us in on our first arrival. We spent Christmas week in Grooms quarters. It is huge. There was a nice christmas tree though we also bought our own fairy lights for the sitting room. The kitchen is well stocked and we could do lots of cooking and baking with ease. Only had to buy a food blender. Lots of tea towels and towels were available. Big double fridge and freezer was big enough for food and drink for 8. Tescos was close by. The place was warm and underfloor heating lovely. It was the five bathrooms and bedrooms that sold it to us as we are three families staying there. There are large crates for two dogs which i thought was great though I don't have a dog myself. The washer and dryer was well used. There are plenty of walks direct from the property though it pretty much rained all week so we were not out all that long each day. The only thing not to my taste was the old fashioned bedding, bedroom chairs and big red sofa which were like something out of an old people's home but we moved the furniture around which helped it feel more cosy. The owner rather read us the riot act about being clean and leaving it as found it which to be honest rather perplexed and annoyed me as I would not have done otherwise. But i guess they have had bad experiences before. That said I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The positives far far outweighed any negatives.

2 teens and 1 dog). The welcome was excellent, with a tour of the property and the facilities it has. The house is completed to a high spec, which was lovely at making our stay so comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we could have needed throughout our stay. For example, we would usually bring our own wok and slow cooker, as most properties do not provide these from our experience. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find large pans, slow cooker and more at the property! The owner really has thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The views are amazing and so quiet.

Huw (the owner) is very accomodating and was genuinely pleased to help on the odd occasions when we needed advice. Would thoroughly recommend this property.
