  • "2 adults and 2 kids stayed at the property for 4 nights it was clean and comfy."

    Great spot for viewing the night sky. Added bonus of the games room which came in handy of an evening. Only downside was maybe could do with a little cosmetic updating furniture etc but still it was comfy and the property external lights from neighbours just effected our nightsky while watching the shooting stars. Would highly recommend and would like to return again.
