Here is my honest review from someone who travels regularly. Me and my family (of 15) stayed here for 3 nights, celebrating mine and my partners 30th.On arrival, we was pleasantly surprised as although the pictures were great and was what led us to book, they didn’t quite show the size of the property (in a good way).There was lots to do. We did bring a lot of our own stuff (football goal etc.) the property did provide some standard footballs, small goals, tennis rackets and balls, pool floats which I assume were left by previous visitors (which is also what we did).There was enough space for everyone to have their own space if needed. But it brought us all closers even in such a big house. The property had everything we needed to do what we wanted. There was so many takeaway options available, on uber eats, deliveroo etc. or you can take a 10 minute drive to the shops etc. The property itself was clean enough considering the size, but my only feedback was there were a few plates that was a little dirty and some cups that had lipstick stains on. This was easily fixable with a quick wash (or using the 2 dishwashers that were available).Overall, it was a really good experience and we are already considering booking again for next year.
