Brilliant accommodation with lots of amenities. Hot tub was a decent size and fit 4 fully grown adults inside. We pretty much had no issues aside from the weather, but we could not complain staying inside a well heated home. Shops are nearby and plenty of option for takeaways.

We had 4 day break with our family. The facilities were fabulous. The pool table tennis in lounge massive hit with whole family. Did not see one member of our family on their device etc as so much to occupy. Was great with the play barn. So much room for the children and dog run around.Catherine the owner was wonderful. The welcome pack was fabulous especially the home made jam. We will definitely have another family celebration there for sure.

7 ladies had a wonderful stay here, everything was perfect, and we didn’t need anything other than our own food and drink. Hosts were amazing and very helpful. We intend to return. Our only advice would be to put a larger hot tub in the garden that 8 people can get in all together and not have to stoke etc. we didn’t really understand the hot tub that is there already and it wasn’t big enough for all of us to sit in and enjoy the night sky, chatting with a drink. Other than that this place is faultless.
