Julie
The house was as described and had everything we needed. Having three bathrooms / toilets / showers was great as there was no hanging around waiting. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the dining table large enough for us all to eat and play games at. Centrally located, but as a consequence had absolutely nowhere to park. We ended up parking a good 10-15 mins away. We thought the house very tired in places and it could do with an update. It also had a damp dog smell when we arrived. Very pricey for two nights - we would probably not stay here again, but enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Perfect stay for our multigenerational holiday. The only minor negatives for us were that it lacked the following items which we would have expected; a garden umbrella (for our door eating in the sun), a hairdryer, oven gloves and a kitchen spray! Tried to rebook for next year but already full

We loved our stay in your lovely property. Although the en-suite shower wasnât draining properly, maintenance were very helpful when we called them about it. It was great to have been given a direct number - very helpful. We look forward to visiting again next year!
