The hot tub tripped when set to over 38.5 degrees which we found a bit too cold. It would be good to have a gate to keep the dog from running into the forest across the road, but thankfully ours didnât. The space and location were amazing and the beds were very comfortable - thatâs huge for me personally as Iâm a very fussy sleeper!
Janis
Downstairs shower needs updating as the shower pressure was quite low. Also lighting could be improved there as the three pull switch often misbehaved. Very tiny TVs in the two bedrooms. However, great TVs in the main lounge and kitchen . Lovely setting and very easy to reach all types of ctivity.
Rebecca
It was well equipped, comfortable and generally lovely. We loved the walks straight from the door and the local areas were beautiful.
