Excellent homely house with lots of extras. Our grandkids had a great time and especially liked the hot tub. Only minor issues was we had to defrost the freezer as it had so much ice we couldn't use the top drawer. This could have been caused by freezer not being shut properly at some time. This is no major criticism as the house was perfect for our needs.

Fantastic house really well equipped. Fabulous views from the master bedroom especially. Sunshine had been arranged as well! Restaurants within walking distance were great and lots of lovely walks through the woods. Many things to do we did canoeing,wild swimming and quad bikes tours. Enjoyed the week so much we have booked for next year.
