Loads of space for our party of 14 to enjoy. Bedrooms really comfortable. Hosts really couldn't have been any more helpful. Right from the start of our booking nothing was too much. Would definitely stay again.

There were some maintenance issues with the wine cooler burning out and tripping the electrics whilst we'd been out for the day. Owner offered timely fix sending an electrician, however, it did mean the hot tub became a cold tub at the time we were planning on using it and the fridge was no longer cold with our food and drinks in. There are a few other defects that might require some attention such as the top floor twin bedroom doesn't shut and the blinds in the back room double don't open sufficiently as the cords appear broken. The bbq was also very dirty on arrival. We cleaned it best we could to use it as we'd planned for a bbq but it wasn't a nice job. Overall the property is a great size for a larger group. Plenty of space but felt homely still. The street it is on is really pleasant and greats views to the sea from the top floor sky lights. Garden area is spacious and the children's play area was well used.

We booked for our 50th golden wedding anniversary celebration. We were not disappointed. The house is beautiful and our family stay was enjoyed from start to finish. All the facilities offered added to the enjoyment, our grandchildren loved the play area, garden and the jacuzzi. We couldn't operate the karaoke so instructions would have helped. The kitchen equipment was quality and our family loved the novelty of no kettle, grandchildren loved the chilled water on tap. I would recommend a chopping board to protect the work tops. We would put this house on our families list to re-visit. We had a fabulous stay.
