We had a lovely stay, still a nice view overlooking the small lake from the enclosed decking . Loved the welcome pack left for us and our 2 dogs. Thank you. We were little bit disappointed with the following few issues we found , 1)the drip tray and the oven door was full of grease. 2) the bottom of the recycling bins we dirty, one bin even had a pair of slippers left in the bottom.3) The little bin outside the front door hasn't been emptied. 4)The hot tub didn't seem to be working properly. Even though we could still used it. 5)We thought that some of leaflets information were a bit out of date These issues don't ruin our stay. We found the 2 maintenance guys on site were very helpful, freindy, approachable and very polite. We would book again.

The welcome gifts were much appreciated. It has everything you need. It is a home from home. We are back again in November and July 2025. Our dogs really enjoyed it and the guts loved the fishing. Perfect location close to shops and great walks.
