We went with our friends, so total of 4 adults and 4 children plus 2 dogs. The house was fantastic, the kitchen was an especially good space to gather to eat and play games with the family. It was lovely and warm. The house was very well equipped with first aid box, books, games, towels, tea bags, dog treats and blankets, tons of kitchen bits and bobs. The tv had Disney so the children were especially happy! The garden was huge and totally enclosed so our 2 very small dogs were well contained and loved it. The hot tub was fab and the boys enjoyed being in charge of sorting out the fire to warm it. Nicola was a great source of Information and we were able to have a local farm deliver us a veg box and milk etc for our arrival day, which was especially lovely. There is so much to do in the local area.

Lovely place to stay with underfloor heating. All your requirements met. Great walk in showers for 2 rooms and a large bathroom for the other rooms. You will need a car and can go to Whitchurch for a great trip out. Here you will find Sainsbury's which has unlimited parking, and a Tesco. There is an indoor swimming pool.Around the property is a short local walk. Owner was very attentive and responded quickly with any requests.
