Amazing house. We had great fun and made good use of the pool table and jacuzzi. The cake and other little touches the home owner made took it to the next level. The village is stunning and the local pub serve great food. We hope to come back next summer.

The house is very comfortable with ample room for socialising. Bedrooms are huge and the downstairs bedroom ( although incorrectly set up) was great for my elderly parents. Airlock entrance is perfect for dog owners to prevent potential escapees as is the very secure garden. Tip: Practice your parallel parking before you arrive!
