    . We had a wonderful stay at Ash villa last weekend 6-8th September. We were met by the lovely Andrea who showed us around and was quick to respond to anything we needed . We appreciated the beautiful welcome hamper with champagne. The house is exactly or even better than the pictures . The kitchen is modern and fully equipped, all the bedrooms are spacious with really comfortable beds . The views from the house are absolutely amazing . We will definitely be staying again .

    The house is absolutely stunning. It worked so well for our celebrations. Space in the basement for the kids if they wanted time away from the adults. The facilities are first class. We really could not have asked for more. Special mention to Andrea who greeted our party and left us a lovely hamper.

    We were a family of 10 with young and old and the cottage worked so well. Beautiful views out and the house itself is lovely. The bedrooms worked well for us and the cinema room was a hit! The house was clean and the kitchen very well equipped. The sofas in the lounge were plenty big enough (although could do with a few cushions I think). We had a really great week
