We really enjoyed our stay here for my partner’s 50th birthday! There’s plenty of space for everyoneand the location is spot on. The place is well kitted out and super comfy. The garden pod is a lovely touch for a morning brew or evening fizz. We didn’t bother with the hot tub, as it’s a bit exposed for colder weather - maybe a gazebo would help. Overall, a really lovely trip!

The living spaces are really roomy, giving everyone plenty of room to relax or chat. The kitchen was well-stocked, which was handyand the pool table was a big hit with both kids and adults.
