James

We had an amazing stay for my 60th birthday! The house was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. The garden was perfect for our dogs-they really enjoyed exploring, though one did manage to escape twice into the lower field, which was a bit nerve-wracking since sheâ€™s a bit of a digger. The large garden and ample parking were great, but some extra lighting would help in the evenings, as it gets quite dark out there.

Emma

This place really impressed us! The setting was stunningand the house felt spacious and cosy, with comfy beds. The hot tub was a real highlight. Canâ€™t wait to return next year, definitely recommended!

Emma Johnson

We really enjoyed the houseâ€™s lovely decor and spacious layout, making it a comfy stay. The beds were super cosy and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Bathrooms were spot on, though the yellow spring water was a bit strange. A couple of issues dampened things - we werenâ€™t told about the mobile mast right outsideand the flies were relentless, even dropping into our food! Also, some basic essentials were missingand the Wi-Fi was patchy, which was a bit frustrating. Still, overall, not bad at all.
