The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped throughout. We particularly enjoyed the objects scattered throughout the house and in the garden. My seven-year-old great granddaughter just adored the piano. The garden was so pretty and everyone loved the sauna and hot tub. The games room and the gym were a bonus. It would be difficult to be bored in this house . There is enough room in the drive for at least four large cars. There are 5 bedrooms with comfortable beds,3 of which are en suite. One of the bedrooms has a bath, another has a walk-in shower and the third has just a toilet. There is no communal/shared bathroom in the house. This did not present us with a problem but I think it is something to be aware of.

The property was clean and exactly as advertised. The location is excellent, only a short walk to all the amenities. Any questions were answered promptly and personably. We hope to be going back in the future.

If we ever visit Brighton again, we will surely be returning. The hot tub, sauna, cinena room and golfing activities were throughly enjoyed. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated and a wonderful touch. Unsure if there is one, but clothing horse would be very convenient especially for wet swimwear and towels. Take care :)
