A wonderful gift of prosecco and biscuits on arrival. Niggles first. The main bedroom bed. uncomfortable, Not everybody likes a bed of bricks. Secondly, the shower, The bathroom was fab, loads of hot water, but a very difficult and disappointing shower. There was also a hole in the bathroom door. There was plenty of books to read, with the offer of taking it home if you don't finish it, which we thought was very nice. Games galore for the kids on rainy days, for the older kids (including husbands !) The garage. The entrance to the garage is outside of the property, which can be a bit daunting on darker nights. A kitchen with everything you could wish for. Apart from the washer being in the garage. A set of drawers in the main bedroom would be useful. There was blankets in the footstool for the nippy nights and dvd collection that could rival any shop. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Definately a home from home and hopefully will be back soon ! Thank you for a fabulous few days !

The property was great. Very clean and so close to amenities! Yes the parking was a bit tight but if you reverse in it's not an issue at all (we have SUV) Will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

Bath is a higher bath than we have at home ,so with no handrail on the wall my wife was unable to use the shower for the duration of our stay.(My wife is partially disabled and we have an over the bath shower without a handrail at home which she uses.).
