Beautiful 5* house
The property has everything you need and in a stunning setting. The large size and excellent layout of the home meant it never felt like our group (9 adults, 5 children) were crowded at any point. A fantastic play room area between the games room and main sitting area was a fantastic surprise and perfectly located to keep an eye on the kids. The bedrooms are lovely, clean and plenty of space. The host met us on arrival and explained a few things, the AGA cooker was a first for us but easy to get used to after the first burnt pizza! The gardens are huge, giving our dog plenty of space to run around, they are not fully enclosed so if your dogs tend to wander you might want to keep a closer eye on them. We would love to revisit this house in the future!
