The property catered for a large group of adults and children with ease. Of particular note was the garden, park and log cabin which was fantastic.
Nothing, the property was exactly what we had hoped for.

We rented the whole property which incorporated 3 separate residencies. The property is absolutely superb for a family gathering as the facilities are excellent. The pool table and games machine gave us endless fun. It was very clean and the decor and furnishings made it feel very homely. The grounds are huge with an excellent play park which includes a trampoline. The welcome packs were exceptional with lots of goodies and there was even a bottle of Prosecco in the wine cooler (not sure if this was the norm or whether this was because we were celebrating a 60th birthday). Since we rented all 3 properties we had goodies and Prosecco ready for us in each!! An important part of our stay was the customer service experience. Superb!! If I had a question the reply was back from Claire literally immediately. Whole experience absolutely brilliant!
Nothing not to like
