Very comfortable and well furnished with easy access to the lovely gardens. The three spacious reception rooms allowed us all to spread out and everything worked very well for us in the property. And so peacefully quiet .

The garden area is absolutely stunning and so very well maintained with so much space for dogs/children to play and so very secluded. The garden definitely sells the place Inside is very spacious with everything one could need but I do feel its decor is rather dated now and that it could do with a good freshen up.

Description is misleading. Dishwasher does not exist. we would not have booked if descriptions had been truthful. Oven very old and very slow. Fridge and microwave small side for a large group. One of only two electric showers working properly. Old stained carpets in toilets are a no no for our family. Disappointing levels of cleaning with dead flies in cupboards and dishes.
