Absolutely amazing property - perfect in every way and a fabulous base for our holiday. We had so much space it was great for us as a group and family... kids could sleep well at night whilst we partied in the bar.
Decor and rooms so beautiful and beds really comfy. Great communication from Adam prior to stay also, nothing too much trouble: we will be back! Best place we have stayed.
We were an extended family group aged from 10 to 78. Every single one of us had an brilliant time. The house is amazing and very clean and modern. The photos do not do the house justice. Overall I would highly recommended a break here and hope to visit again.
