Some confusion about cost of hot tub (Sykes error which the owner sorted out quickly). Excellent facilities and the games room was well used! Only thing missing was a hairdryer... Would 100% stay here again and we are already planning to come back in summer.

The owners met us on arrival was friendly and very welcoming . The house is very spacious and the layout well thought of . Thought of everything to keep you busy and entertained from the bar area , to the games room/ entertainment area karaoke, tv on each room , a great hot tub. The grounds is nice and spacious and nice and tidy . The only downside is not easy to find , my suggestion will be maybe to put a board next to the road stating the property name . Also as you enter the property grounds its a bit of a dip right in the beginning of the entrance pls take it slow with your vehicle if you drive a low vehicle . I highly recommend this property and will definitely return in the future . Nice quiet private area . Not to far from the local village as well . Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your property Nicola
