    “Absolutely loved our stay here, it had everything we needed and more!”

    Easily housed our whole party (17 adults + 4 infants) for the weekend, everyone was very impressed when the house and pool (we didn’t use the games room)! We met Brian (the owner) a few times and he was always very smiley and approachable! The only thing I would say is that some areas are looking quite ‘tired’ - loose coat hooks, scuffed paintwork, hanging wires etc but this wouldn’t stop us from returning again
