This is almost a very good property. The bedrooms were good, the kitchen was excellent and the bathrooms were ok. In the lounge and playroom the sofas did seem well worn although not uncomfortable but its probbaly time for an update and considering how far some of you are away from the TV it would have been better to have had a much larger screen.

This property is amazing. We had a wonderful week. We were a group of three generations, celebrating Grandad's retirement. The bedrooms gave enough flexibility. The main rooms were large enough for all of us. Having the separate lounge/gamesroom was a bonus. The very large kitchen/diner meant we could all easily eat together. There was an extremelyRead more ample selection of pots/pans/crockery/cutlery so that we were never short, even when the dishwasher was full. The owner was lovely and very generous. Hide
