View from the property is amazing and such a peaceful area but think the property would bennifit from. Taller fence between the property for added privacy for both propertyâs and the fencing could be made more secure for smaller dogs. Also as others have said the lounge seating area could be made more comfortable with a corner sofa or an extra two seater sofa. The hot tub did break down mid week which was a little disappointing but owner did everything they could to get it sorted and even offered us use of there hot tub in the next door property which was very kind of them.

I gave up in the end. The refrigerator was set to high, which I didn't notice immediately. The freezer section defrosted and the food for the week was spoiled. Once I saw that it had been set to 8 Degrees and not 2 I was able to change it, and it worked fine after that, but too late. The hot tub required 2 people to open it. Since I was on my own...? The hook to keep the door open was broken, so the door needed to be shut or propped open to avoid it slamming. The property was very clean and comfortable. It was also warm, and the garden was excellent for a dog, with good fencing in place. Unless your dog is an escape artist you have no worries about letting it roam free in the garden. It was very peaceful and quiet with excellent views of farmland. It was a shame that the niggles did somewhat spoil the holiday, but I'm sure they can be fixed without a problem.

I cooked and found all I needed to hand in the kitchen, a good butchers and wet fish shop and farm shop local. Our dog enjoyed the garden as much as we did, we had a wonderful week and have booked for next year!
