We had a brilliant four days at “Paradise”. The house was perfectly set up for our group of 8. Everyone loved the hot tub! The views over the forest also inspired us to get out there!

Spacious, clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Large bedrooms and comfy beds. Plenty of thoughtful additions, eg fans etc. Large kitchen diner with table large enough for us / 11 adults and two small children. The hot tub was appreciated and nothing there not to like. Would gladly book again and again.P.S.Parking for 5 cars conveniently situated outside house frontage. (Entrance to the road a bit narrow so need to watch out for traffic when leaving Meendhurst Road.)
