The layout of the house was great for 3 couples and 2 children. The games and books for the kids were great. Kitchen cupboards were well stocked with crockery and cutlery etc. would love to stay again

The beds were not comfortable. Do not need new mattresses but need mattress toppers. It was hard on the hips and was not easy to get to sleep.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the beds weren’t as comfortable for you and appreciate your suggestion — it’s something we’ll certainly take into consideration. Thanks again for staying with us.
We had a lovely stay in this property. Beds were comfortable and linen provided was a real packing saver. Everything we needed was there, plus some lovely extras for the kids to play with as well. We were missing a plug to fit the bath and the floors were a bit sticky and dirty, but all in all we loved our stay and would book again. Thanks for having us.
we were really happy with the property, very clean, plenty of amenities and so comfortable we felt as if it was our own.
Plenty of space, and with everything you really need for adults and children. Definitely recommend :)
Wonderful long weekend stay would definitely recommend
Excellent place to stay, separate living areas for the children to play was wonderful, plus the games area in the double garage was an absolute bonus to keep them occupied. Would recommend this holiday house for families to stay in absolutely.
Lovely property, great for a group of friends with the ability to spread out and have our own space. Great deck with a lovely day bed. Very clean and has everything you will need.
We really enjoyed our stay thank you! The only downside was that the bins were full when we arrived and there was no wifi. Above all, very nice place to stay at, we will definitley come back again.

Lots of space and activities
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay and loved the games, puzzles, toys and games room. We hope to stay longer next time.
Very nice and clean house with plenty of space.
It would have been better if it has WiFi and if we could be able to connect our smartphones with TVs because there was no DVDs in the house.
