The property was perfect for what we needed - so much useable space that even with a group of 15 of us we never felt on top of each other. The facilities on site were brilliant for families - something for everyone and the swimming pool was a definite win! The location is remote and incredibly beautiful. An absolute perfect place for a getaway

Not what we expected.

As we’ve just been through a heat wave it was disappointing all the bedrooms are upstairs didn’t have any fans to cool us down in the evenings, ergo lots of sleep lost.The boiler cover was held on with bits of tape. if we had a young baby with us they could have injured themselves quite badly.The cooker was useless one of the ovens didn’t reach its proper temperature making cooking difficult to do.The decor was very dated and the couches in the living room were uncomfortable.Couldn’t see the point of the bar in the living room. The place itself looked and was tatty and no were near the standard we expected for the money we paid.The pool/snooker room was too hot to spend any time in.The rackets etc for badminton were very cheap and out of shape. The pillow’s were so hard and uncomfortable. The bed linen didn’t fit properly on all beds.The mugs were promotional give aways from various companies.We could go on but in excess of 3:5 k for what is basically two days is excessive, the quality we all have at home is far greater than we enjoyed there. We wanted it to be a special place like a couple of other properties we have hired historically.We wanted the wow factor and we didn’t get anywhere near it.It was great being together as a family but the property lacked sparkle, it needs a complete overhaul to meet the money being charged.

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.

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.
