  • "Absolutely beautiful property in spotless condition on arrival."

    Everything provided. Surprised by the lovely welcome hamper. Would be very happy to come again. Just a little note as owners may not be aware! Shower height adjustment bracket in downstairs en-suite is broken can only be used at lowest height. Also steps from balcony into the garden pond area the railing is loose!! Thank you for a perfect stay to attend a family wedding locally.

    Hi Jean. we were really pleased you had a great stay but sorry the height adjustment on the shower was broken and the railings were a bit wobbly. We have mended the shower and tightened the bolts on the railings, so no more wobble!! Do come again. David and Gail Property Owner

  • "Loverly property and surrounding grounds."

    Well furnished and the grounds are maintained to a great standard. The location is excellent as well, just a short walk into town but remains secluded and private, despite its close proximity to the town.
