The hot tub was lovely. The free swim at the spa was really good & we paid to go again. The welcome pack , hand soap & toilet rolls was appreciated. We enjoyed our stay but had a few issues. The beds were not comfortable & even the children complained they could feel the springs. The pillows were so thin you couldnât sit up in the bed without your head falling through the slated headboard. The oven had no instructions but the maintenance man provided them quickly, however the temperature numbers had worn out so we had to guess. He did take photos to report it. We also had an issue with hot water tap in the bedroom with the bath. It wouldnât turn off correctly . The maintenance man advised it needed a plumber & we couldnât use it. No one came during our stay. Only one key was provided for the property, 2 would have been helpful with a party of 6. Hopefully these issues will get sorted as itâs a lovely property.

Heating system needs looking into, as the boiler kept firing up throughout the night, even with thermostat turned down. There was no information about adjusting the heating apart from a sign saying don't change anything.

Easy access to the A1. The property was bigger than it looked from the outside so we had plenty of space. It had everything we could need. There is a fantastic pub a few minutes walk away. What more could we ask for?!
