Myself and 10 friends (and two dogs) stayed for a weekend away and have no complaints whatsoever. The house is SO spacious featuring two large sitting rooms, six large bedrooms and a huge dining table to accommodate us all. The extra features such as the gorgeous hot tub and games room were a real bonus, and the house (specifically the kitchen) was well equipped with everything we needed to cook some big meals. Thereâs a friendly pub just down the track which we stopped off at after a local walk which also serves some gorgeous food. Overall we would definitely recommend and would live to return one day! Thank you Lyn! :D

The house is really comfortable in a beautiful setting and there was plenty of space for all of us to relax together or separately. The only feedback I have is that there isn't much provided in the house - only 1 dishwasher tablet, 1 toilet roll per bathroom, no spare bin liners, and no kitchen essentials like oil, salt, pepper, tea or coffee. We had to do an emergency run to the shop when we realised the toilet roll and bin liner situation. Likewise in the kitchen, there aren't really any big pots and pans for group cooking which was a bit tricky when cooking pasta for 12. Overall though we loved it and would definitely come back - thank you!
