especially wonderful to host a small gathering..great size of the two seperate lounges,catering for young adults who want to listen to music and play cards to the other half who wanted to chat and watch the rugby..beautiful gas fire which warmed the main rooms rather quickly..nice guest rooms..main room and onsuite double shower superb..nice open kitchen with good size dining table..our dream house for a large family and friends..really happy with our stay
The house was great but the cleaners had missed the kitchen - old food in the microwave and fridge. We didn't dare to look in the oven! Sleeping arrangements were misleading - single bed in the office was a mattress with no sheets. No laundry which could be a nuisance on a longer stay. But it was comfy and warm. Great living space
