We loved it!Comfy beds, had pre arranged bed configurations with owners which was really helpful.Very clean. Loved the big lounge upstairs which was great for our group.Unexpected downstairs toilet which we hadn’t expected.Hot tub was lovely.Good amount and selection of crockery, utensils etc.Only thing we didn’t think to bring was dishwasher tablets but it wasn’t a massive issue.Would love to stay again!
