Great property for a mixed group of old friends. With the property being 2 cottages we were able to have a boys and a girls cottage each for sleeping but only using one for cooking and dining and one lounge was big enough for relaxing in plus we had hired a hot tub in a garden. The 2 cottage layout would also work for 2 families as there are 2 kitchens and lounges with enormous tv screens. Parking ok as we were able to squeeze 8 cars in the off road parking. Our group was 11 adults

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear that the property worked well for your group of friends and that the two-cottage layout made it easy to split up for sleeping while still coming together to cook, dine, and relax. It’s great that the hot tub was great addition to your stay. We’re also happy to hear that the parking worked out for all 8 cars! It sounds like your group made the most of everything, and we’d love to welcome you all back again sometime!
