..we had a great family holiday in this stylish and well appointed place. Sure it's a little crumpled at the edges (though we experienced no issues like those reported in other reviews) but nothing really concerning. It's an exposed house, but underfloor heating keeps the house nicely cosy. Views are stunning, it's a great place to escape to...we will definitely be back!

The house was spacious and comfortable with absolutely stunning views. It was a peaceful and relaxing place to be. The dishwasher gave up on Sunday morning and was repaired by 10.00 on Monday morning - a speedy service.

The shower has never been repaired and does not work. The plumber visited but did not repair it. The brewery has closed down and barrels and equipment are strewn around and unsafe for children. The grass was cut at the end of our week, no garden chairs. No house name displayed so hard to find.
