Both lounges were extremely comfortable and the Bose CD surround sound system was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. It was so peaceful and quiet we loved it. I couldn't light the gas hob without matches though. The slider garden seat in the summerhouse was very relaxing.
Alan
It was so good I could have moved in for good.

We would consider returning again. If there is a minor fault we felt a little cold as the temperature dropped and the heating was limited, water bottles were not the answer, As we left the car was iced up, all in all we loved the place.
