From the moment of booking, communication with the host was excellent. We were messaged on the day of arrival to inform us that we could check into the property earlier than advertised - welcome news as some of our group had travelled quite far.The property itself is absolutely beautiful, set in stunning grounds with amazing views. The house was decorated to a high standard and had everything you could possibly require, even extra blankets and water bottles for cold weather. There were also some lovely touches in the form of local bread, jam and honey which were left for us.The house was well equipped, the kitchen utensils in particular were new and plenty. There were even dishwasher tablets and laundry tablets to use. We were really impressed overall and give this property 10 out of 10. If I had to be picky I would say that another bathroom would be useful, but this didn’t cause us a problem and it won’t stop me from booking this property again. Thank you Alan and Clare.
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting with everything provided. Plenty of room for our family of 10 and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a great hit with the younger members of the family. Alan and Clare could not have been more helpful.
Amazing House with stunning views and beautiful surroundings perfect for an extended family holiday.
We received such a warm welcome from Alan & Clare with a very thoughtful surprise for the children to enjoy over the Easter weekend🐣🥚
The House was immaculate and very well maintained with excellent facilities and lots of space. We had great fun playing family games out in the garden and taking in the wildlife.
The local area has so much to offer, and we simply ran out of time to explore it all.
Would definitely recommend and already planning our next trip!
