The house is spacious, well equipped and thoughtfully presented - lots of touches that made us feel welcome and comfortable. The location is amazing, there are so many things within easy reach whether you are driving or taking public transport, and great walks from the door. I definitely plan to return.

We stayed as a family group of 7 adults and 2 infants and there was plenty of room, the little play area was a nice addition. We took far too much stuff as there was plenty of cleaning products etc and from glue to spare bulbs, there was everything there for all eventualities. We could have saved ourselves a bit of room by not taking a travel cot as there was one already there. The guest information book was very comprehensive with information we had to use, although it could do with being updated regarding takeaways. The only very slight criticism I could make, was that for the size of the property, the hot tub was small. We would definitely use this property again and probably will again next year, as we enjoyed our time there so much, just a shame the weather let us down a bit.
