We (a family of four with two sons 16 and 19) have rented many times through Owners Direct or agencies, but never have we stayed in a property that felt so much like home and in which every little detail had been so well thought out. The quality of the furnishings was evident throughout the property- linen, cutlery, crockery, cooking equipment all in abundance. This is not a property put together quickly for holiday lets, but one lovingly created for the family's occasional use and those lucky enough to enjoy this beautiful property on a family estate for a holiday stay. The pool is large, well-sited and always perfectly clean. The recently-built tennis court is very well-located, being in an area of shade during the late afternoon and evening. If anything ever occurred, which might happen in any country property, it was dealt with rapidly and effectively by the family's English-speaking housekeeper or maintenance back up. We would not hesitate to recommend this property, and indeed already have to work colleagues.
