Geoffrey
Which we found very spacious. There were however some minor points that the owner should rectify or be aware of. Top oven not working (owner informed), lack of usable toilet brushes, we were disappointed that the table tennis table was out of use and the hot tub wood burner should be fired up at least 3 hours before use. Would also have been useful to have more information about the property facilities and the area including surgeries and emergency service.

There were 9 of us over 3 generations. I'd like to add that one if our group is a wheelchair user and she had access to the majority of the house. The only part of the house unaccessible were the 3 bedrooms on the lower ground so absolutely no problem whatsoever. Martin was also extremely accommodating when we had to hire some extra mobility aids to the property, ensuring he was there to receive the items before we arrived. We had a wonderful 2 weeks. The hot tub and the pool table were brilliant. I'd highly recommend this property.
