  • "Fabulous property!"

    An absolute gem! I can honestly say it's the nicest UK holiday home we've stayed in. The only negative (and it's very minor) was, there are no plug sockets next to any mirrors so my wife had to do her hair in the kitchen using the reflection of the microwave!

  • "What a lovely property, it was ideal for us as I brought my parents and my mum has mobility issues so to have the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs was ideal."

    I would highly recommend to friends. Thank you for supplying everything you need for a home from home stay.

  • "Absolutely beautiful home."

    Everything was spotlessly clean and the bathrooms were excellent. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms very spacious. Only slight drawback is there is not enough cooking equipment. Lovely big range cooker, but only one cooking pan and two frying pans, so we had to buy another pan as we chose self a catering cottage so we didn’t have to eat out for dinner. The vacuum cleaner and heated airier were also broken, but that was soon cleared up by contacting the number left for any maintenance issues and they were able to replace the vacuum cleaner. The weather cleared up so we were able to dry washing on the lines in the garden.

  • "The house is really lovely, spacious & bright."

    We were very disappointed as there were no saucepans & nit much at all to cook with. The plinth on the bottom if the sink unit kept falling down. We couldn't get the hoover to work so went out & bought a broom & mop, no dustpan & brush!. We always clean through before we leave hence buying the equipment. The outside was also quite untidy with a lit of debris. Sorry we aren't the sort of guests to complain but not everyone can eat out every day. The house itself though is lovely.
