    “We stayed in this house for a family break and we were not disappointed at all.”

    Everything had been thought of to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we required. This was things such dog drinking bowls, leaflets and a welcome folder explaining the area, board games and my personal favourite torches - very helpful when walking to the local pub! It also didn't go unnoticed that on one of our days out the grass had been cut too and the garden cared for. The house was very modern with an American fridge ...

    Everything had been thought of to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we required. This was things such dog drinking bowls, leaflets and a welcome folder explaining the area, board games and my personal favourite torches - very helpful when walking to the local pub! It also didn't go unnoticed that on one of our days out the grass had been cut too and the garden cared for. The house was very modern with an American fridge freezer, large oven and wifi however it also respected the age of the house with lots of wonderful original features. It was very spacious for our whole family (7 of us stayed) and plenty of room for our large dogs. The only slight complaint I would have is that the vents in the bathrooms did rattle, even in slight wind. It was the middle of the night that we noticed it and scared us to death as it was very loud! We thought someone was tapping on the outside and none of us could sleep until we figured out what it was! Once we did though the beds were so lush and comfortable that once the scare was over we were soon back to sleep. We absolutely recommend this beautiful house and we most certainly want to return - I did not want to leave! Thank you to Vicky and her family it was lovely chatting to you and very generous to give us the extra time.
