The outside space is amazing and we spent plenty of time in the grounds with it being very sunny for our break. It felt very secure being behind the large fences with entrances bolted from the inside so the children could just run around. The zip wire was fabulous, a great addition to the play area, there was everything a child could want for outside play. please mention to the owner but do not publish this bit. The zip link bed mattress were not the same high quality as the other beds which was a shame, the can opener does not work not a problem a just bought one but you might like to know for future guests. thanks you for a great stay

The outside areas are fantastic, kids loved the zipline and games room and the grass area was a great size for the kids and dog. It's a great garden, lovely and quiet. The house was really clean and is just like the pictures on the website. There is only one downstairs bathroom but we knew this at the time of booking but it's a good size and we made it work without any issues. We had three cars in total and roadside parking was never an issue down the quiet one way street. My only recommendation would be a larger saucepan or two in the kitchen. Steve was a great host, very approachable and quick to respond to any queries. Would certainly stay here again.
