The property's location is ideal for both relaxation and exploration, with easy access to local amenities and scenic walks. The accommodation is well-equipped and spacious, making it a comfortable stay for families and groups. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few guests mentioned the sofas could be more comfortable.
The majority of guests reported the property to be immaculate and spotlessly clean. One review mentioned the need to rewash kitchen items, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is described as peaceful with good transport links, nearby shops, and beautiful walks, making it perfect for a proper escape. The proximity to Whitchurch and other attractions adds to its appeal.
Guests found the property welcoming, cosy, and spacious, with comfortable beds and a relaxing hot tub. However, multiple reviews mentioned that the sofas were uncomfortable, which impacts the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure parking. The hot tub is frequently mentioned as a highlight. Some guests suggested improvements, such as more cleaning products and a cover for the hot tub.
Several reviews appreciated the welcome pack provided upon arrival, indicating a level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Absolutely beautiful and very clean. Every credit to the owners who have thought of everything you could need. Walk into town took about 10 mins. pubs good and friendly. Hot tub was ace. Would love to book again. Perfection and the property was so huge. My only suggestion would be a small canopy over the toilet window that covers your towels while in hot tub and also keeps dry anyone that smokes or vapes. Keys are located by the garages not by the front door which we soon realised.
