Although 5 double rooms parking is tight for 3 cars but can park on the road as no restrictions and always spaces. We managed to lock ourselves out totally our fault but the problem was soon resolved and would like to compliment the Sykes handler who dealt with call .

It offered really good accommodation for our large multi generational family. The ground floor is a lovely, open area with somewhere for little ones to play whilst the adults can keep an eye on them. Gardens lovely too. Kitchen works well. The fridge is, frankly, too small for a group of 10. A second drinks fridge would be a real bonus. Nice china and good supply of glasses. Really appreciated being left dishwasher tablets and some washing machine sachets too. The en suite bathrooms are small, no where to put anything, but are functional. The main bathroom is huge but has a tiny shower! The housekeepers need to take a bit more care and to use a cobweb brush! Itâs a lovely house and we had a great stay. Thank you!

Plenty of car parking spaces on the road outside and you could probably get four cars on the Holly Lodges drive. Our party of five couples had a lovely time.
