Amazing experience
Everything was better than expected. Cleanliness, Lounge, dining and room sizes were very good size. More than enough fridges to keep all the foods fresh. Good size freezer. The two TVs kept the kids entertained. A massive size of ground allows people to play outdoor games. An enclosed games area for all ages. Private use of jaccuzi was very good for relaxation. Pool area gets cleaned after every session which was very unexpected and extremely good. Dry sauna had one of those glass sand timer. The owners Penny & Claire have been great hosts and would definitely go again next year.

Brilliant for large groups!
Very impressive space, didn’t feel on top of each other and the pool and hot tub were very well maintained. We were a large group of 12 and it worked very well.

Great stay
Had a lovely time here with the family for my mother in laws 60th. The house was huge, with plenty of room for 15 guests to not be on top of each other. Facilities were excellent. Highly recommend for a weekend.
