What guests are saying
Be aware that the two double rooms also have a single bed in them - could be awkward if you expect to sleep 4 couples!
Very spacious property and great for three generation group. Lovely new bathrooms, but we had a major problem in that we could not turn the water down cool enough to use two of the showers - they would not run cold. Sharon and plumber did their best, but it wasn't easy all using one en-suite shower. Kitchen facilities good, but a grater and ice tray would have been useful. Also a drying rack - we were lucky to have hot weather and could put swimming things on the fence! Could also have done with one or two garden chairs - one fixed table and benches is a squeeze for 8. Pool and tennis courts lovely but had the weather been poor not much else to do - only the table tennis in the barn and no football table or snooker. For the price maybe expected a bit more, but we still had a great holiday!
We loved our stay.
The accommodation is very spacious with a well supplied kitchen (please can you add a tin opener). The real highlight for us was having access to the tennis court, table tennis in the barn and the swimming pool.
What a lovely place.
Met by a friendly and kind host who showed us round. The cottage was well appointed, spacious and comfortable. Everything was clean and tidy. Really enjoyed the tennis court and pool. Would highly recommend
