Lovely homely feel with everything necessary to ensure a smooth and relaxing holiday. We had wonderful weather which certainly helped us enjoy our time together following a family wedding at nearby Newton Hall.

Very spacious and well equipped. There is a nice little garden for sitting out, plus an extra expanse of grass for any ball games for any energetic guests. There is a newly fitted car echarging point which isn't yet mentioned in the property details. I would recommend this property.

Think itâs because of the water pressure so donât have a shower if anyone else on the complex is using the water . No blind on upper twin bedroom window or upper front shower room so use towels maybe . I did contact agency a few times but no response before we visited as I was concerned by most recent review . I rang the agency when we realised two of the showers didnât work and was informed someone may visit but no update to confirm if they did or didnât . Dogs are allowed and I love dogs but not when the other occupants let them bark their heads of in the morning . Other than that we really enjoyed our stay .
