    “Lovely house in a great location.”

    Easily big enough for two families of 4 plus dogs and the garden is incredible with a fantastic play area for the kids which provided hours of entertainment and the lovely hot tub. Great communication from the owners too.

    Easily big enough for two families of 4 plus dogs and the garden is incredible with a fantastic play area for the kids which provided hours of entertainment and the lovely hot tub. Great communication from the owners too. A couple of points to note for people booking: - The garden isn't totally dog proof as it has a stream running through it so they can escape but the top garden is totally secure for letting them run around. -The showers are not for taller people (due to the limit of the height of the rooms being an old cottage) but it is possible to have a sit down shower in the bath. - The kitchen is fantastic, very easy to cook proper meals which can be enjoyed round the really big dining table. We ordered a big online delivery and ate in most evenings which saved us a lot of money!
