A great venue for a large family holiday age range of 70 years to 7 weeks! A large property like this does need careful oversight to pick up any problems early. We had wonderful weather so the swimming pool was lovely. The ample number of reception rooms meant that those who wanted a bit of peace and quiet could always find somewhere to hide!

The perfect house for a large family gathering. The owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was just perfect. We stayed over the Christmas period and the house was beautifully decorated. A great location and a very well-equipped property with very comfortable beds and great power showers. Thank you for helping make our family Christmas so enjoyable.
