    The owners have literally thought of everything that you could possibly need and then left a lovely welcome basket of goodies and some milk. The beds were amazingly comfortable and we wanted to take up squatters rights. The facilities are brilliant with games room and gym. I had a couple of questions to start and the housekeeper came out straight away and was really helpful. Having an annexe was a real bonus as it meant the family had the house and I could have my granny annexe. The slight downside for us was some of the maintenance. The outside front door didn’t close properly which we felt was a security issue with kids in the house. The banister in the annexe was loose and a few other niggles. Also thought an extra £150 to use hot tub on top of holiday cost was a lot. Would it stop us going again? Absolutely not. Would I recommend it? In a heartbeat. Thank you for helping us make family memories!

    The communication about room set up was great and all the info needed about the stay and local area was readily available in the property. Will be recommending to friends and looking at rebooking again when we can. A great relaxing get away.

    We had a luxurious week enjoying the excellent facilities, the well tended and spacious garden and the comfortable, elegant home. So generous, from the pretty flowers welcoming us in the hallway to the milk and thoughtful goodies in the kitchen and bathrooms we felt cosseted and relaxed. Thank you very much. The only flaw was the busy road which the owners couldn't help.
