Lovely place. Not quite reaching its potential. Some easy fixes required like better games room equipment, fresh mattresses, better sofas, working vacuum cleaner, attention to safer dog boundaries. On the plus side, copious amounts of hot water, fantastic showers, great hot tub, good Wi-Fi signals, quiet location, plenty of car parking space, generous welcome pack, friendly owner, lovely rooms and overall a great property. We would definitely be happy to return.
