Property just as it appears in photos. It has a very homely relaxed feeI and it was fun knocking a tennis ball around. We all loved the area and would definitely book it again.
Nice to celebrate in style with all the family. Good location with the required facilities. What more can one say. The open fire was a particular highlight sitting around joking, laughing and all catching up or playing games. Didn't need the TV!
