A good base but be prepared to travel, there were some things missing, no tea towels although they were on the itinerary ,no containers for microwave cooking, and very few instructions for the appliances. It is a very nice property and spacious but just lacking some finer detail.

Stayed with my husband and 2 girls aged 11 and 9. We had amazing time. The property was beautiful with all we needed. Great attention to detail. I loved the interior design. Bathroom was exceptional- bright and large space. There were even board games included. We loved the hot tub! We made very good use of it. The shared acre land was lovely too. Welcome pack was handy and we took on board one of the recommendations and went to Ferry Meadows which was a real highlight. Did a trail and kayaking. Only constructive feedback would be the kettle really needs descaling and we got lost as we got closer to the property so maybe a little map/drawn map showing at Paul’s Road and harps hall Road would be helpful. We hope to return again maybe with another family. Thank you so much to the owners.
