We enjoyed our holiday very much, the place lovely and clean. We had trouble with the dishwasher it was fixed within hours. All the beds where comfortable and all the showers worked well. Our only negative was that the sofas could do with and up grade. The garden was great for the children to play in.

We didn’t get to have our stay. I emailed hold my booking. I’ve tried calling numerous times. I’ve emailed the owner. I’ve tried to email a rebooking for the same time next year. I was booking this on behalf of a group of friends and I’m really stressed that I don5 have a definitive answer - made worse by receiving this.

We had a fantastic weekend with the work family here.
We had a fantastic weekend with the work family here. Very sociable. Smashing big dining table. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Plenty of space. One downside was no downstairs toilet, but we left one bedroom downstairs empty. Lovely wee touches when we arrived flowers, milk tea and coffee and especially ice in the freezer! Fantastic views, not too far away from the village. Central heating kept the house at a comfortable temperature. Lots of parking spaces, easy to find. Will definitely book again

7 adults 6 children this property suited us perfectly, use of the very large back garden was perfect for the 6 kids and plenty of space to play football, put up tent, hammocks and paddling pool.
John was the perfect host never intruded and was always there when we needed local advise and help with any thing.
A fantastic holiday and I would recommend this property and location

We arrived to a very clean house and welcome pack , which included tea, coffee, biscuits, milk and bottle of wine too.
The owner made himself known and gave us the run of the lovely and well kept garden.
This was our 6th year running and Improvements were noticeable.

Great house, we tried to hoover before we left, hoover didn't work! shower downstairs was a little tired, could do with a re vamp. For some reason there was a set of plyers next to the toilet when we arrived? There wasn't much information/booklet to go with the property that we have had in other houses we have rented.

A fine house in an excellent location. The owner was very welcoming.
Our only criticisms are of a very hard and narrow bed in the downstairs bedroom; winter duvets on the beds; and a vacuum that made life difficult cleaning up before we left.

The house is in a great location, peaceful and quiet with great views.
The house is in a great location, peaceful and quiet with great views. The house is plenty big enough for large groups (are party was 11 ranging from 6 months to 69). The beds do need some attention as some of our party did find them uncomfortable but the rest of the facilities were fine. It would have been good to have access to the recycling bins too. John, the owner was very helpful and provided a lovely welcome package which was appreciated. If the beds were replaced we would return.
