Location is beautiful and the cottage it's self is stunning however the property was cold and we couldn't get warm. Also the property was a little dirty which was disappointing but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Nice holiday home for families
Lovely quiet location for family events. A lived in property that you can really relax in. The piano was in tune and we spent many hours playing and singing as a family which was great fun (we are all musicians) and there was plenty of music available to play. The tennis court provided many hours of entertainment and although we brought our own tennis rackets, we did not need to as they were also provided. The snooker and table tennis table was also well used during our visit. We also made use of the BBQ, which although a little old worked adequately and enabled us to feed everyone who visited us for a family a party on the Saturday evening. There are plenty of fridges (important when you are catering for a party) and the kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. The property is dog friendly and although we did not bring our dogs on this occasion, there would have been plenty of places to walk with them. However, the garden is not secure so you would need to watch animals or any young children carefully On arrival we were treated with a welcome pack, with property information, which was very useful and the property was clean Overall we had a very nice family stay whilst we celebrated a family 40th birthday
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019
