We had a fabulous weekend with a group of friends. Perfect house for all of us. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. All the details were accurate and the house was well equipped. Highly recommended.
This home was absolutely perfect! We used it as the base for my sister's wedding weekend. The house is so spacious and well looked after — perfect for a large group. Utterly perfect.
The house is stunning — the photos do not show the amazing social space available. We feel very lucky to have stayed here. My husband had a wonderful 60th birthday weekend here.
A fantastic property with everything you could need. A peaceful area with a lovely pub in walking distance. Holly responded quickly and recommended local pubs and takeaways.
The games room was a big hit with the kids, as were the trampoline, hammock, and goats outside. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would 100% recommend this home to anyone.
The accommodation was fantastic. A great space and all of us wish we'd booked an additional night and would definitely go back again. Truly one of the best group stays we've had.
