We were a group of 6 adults staying for a long weekend at the beginning of December. It had been decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. The property was a great find & in a nice quiet location. The underfloor heating kept the property warm enough & we didnât need the log burner. In fact, we used the air con a couple of times! Despite Storm Darragh we were able to use the hot tub each day. The owner was very responsive to my messages. Only a couple of suggestions would be for additional pillows & towels to be available, but to be fair I didnât ask about them at the time. We were talking about booking again for next year before we had left as we all liked it so much!!

I try to do at least one UK break with the family each year and itâs always tough finding accommodation that fits the bill but this one checked all the boxes. Hot tub was great, accommodation was clean and plenty of space for my nephew and dog to run around. Garden is secure, so itâs a relief knowing I can just let the dog come in and out as she pleases. Plenty of windows at the back too so we can keep an eye on her. Underfloor heating was nice and didnât actually need to use the log burner to keep warm. Overall, great stay.
