The only reason I marked âcleanlinessâ lower is because the fridge hadnât been cleaned very well. Also, please buy some more glasses, there were very few.

It had everything we needed for our stay. The decor and furnishings were in keeping with the style of the property. Arrival instructions really clear. We made use of the lovely log burner and the hot tub was very relaxing with the only sound being the birds and the horses nearby. We would definitely want to return to Gamekeepers cottage to explore more of the area.
