Settle down at the dining table to relish mealtimes as a family, pouring a glass of wine and reflecting on your favourite memories so far or if the weather permits, step out into the enclosed garden to savour a late-night tipple and admire your tranquil surroundings. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to the first floor where you’ll find a spacious family bathroom, ideal for indulging a long soak before completing your evening skincare routine and retiring to bed; a neatly-presented super-king-size (zip/link) and a double wait for you to rest your head in preparation for another day of adventures.

House was immaculate and fully equipped. The furnishings were high quality and there was a welcome hamper with coffee, tea, bread and marmalade as well as butter and milk in the fridge. The TV was great, with Amazon Prime, Netflix and Sky available. We had a great holiday, although we cut it short by a day because of the impending weather. Thank you Alan and John!
