Idyllic family time
This is such a fabulous property. We spent a long weekend there to celebrate our parents' 50th wedding anniversary - children, spouses, grandchildren (and two white dogs), and didn't want to leave. Rooms aplenty, lots of space, spa an absolute success. We loved it so much we're going back over Easter. Sam was really helpful and responded to queries quickly. What would make this beautiful place even better would be some kind of shading over the spa (as sun can be biting) and grip on the flooring (mainly bathrooms and around spa/porch), as we found it quite the slip hazard. We're already counting down to our Easter trip!

Lifestyles of the rich & famous
What an amazing house! We had 10 staff stay here as they were working in the expo at MotoGP. They all loved the house and preferred to shop in town and stay at the house rather than go out for meals. With all the different and spacious living areas no-one felt crowded and anyone could find a quiet space to relax. We will definitely be back in the future!!!!

Spacious and entertaining
Once again we had a nice stay at MR2 for New Year. Children and adults were happy. The property did seem to need a bit of care/update from past year. But overall a great stay once again.
