Accomodation very good for 3 generations of family. Spacious for us all. Kitchen was ideal. The hooever needed repairing on day of arrival, but the owners were aware of the fault. The location is far from 'local amenities' but that was fine. It was difficult driving down the slope of the drive onto the road without catching the underneath of the car - there was some guidance about this in the information pack.

Great house, great facilities, warm, comfortable and well equipped. Ideally located for enjoying the landscape/great outdoors, visiting towns & cities, historic sites etc. We were a mixed group of a couple and a family with three teenagers and the size of accommodation suited us perfectly.
