We stayed for our 50th anniversary family celebration with three grown up children and their partners and seven grandchildren. The hot tub was a great addition and enjoyed by all. The teenage children made great use of the games room. The house was spotlessly clean and everything was as we hoped.
Kathryn
All of our guests loved the property and setting, the games room was very popular, as was the fire pit on one evening. Having the snug room for our younger members to use and the lounge for adults was an advantage . The very large dining table was excellent for family meals. Loved having real pot plants around the house, made it feel very special. An extractor above the cooker would be an advantage as unfortunately the main oven had not been cleaned and smoked when it was turned on setting off the fire alarms. I did clean the oven but it still filled with smoke when I tried to use it again. This was our only issue.
Gemma
Hot tub was a big hit with everyone. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back next year
