Spacious and Perfect
Such a beautiful house, we had a super comfortable stay. The yard was perfect for our fur babies, they had plenty of space to run around. Kitchen was fully equipped and there were even a few games for the kids to play. Would definitely stay here again

Family visit
7 of us stayed comfortably here for a week. The location was perfect to gather for other family members to stay at the caravan park close by and catch up daily. The house was spacious and the garden created a sense of privacy. Plenty of things to keep everyone occupied with the activities provided here.

Best stay yet!
The property is large & spacious enough for the family and pet dog (and friends to visit), with tidy & cosy decor, filled with appliances & equipment that made it easy to live for our 9-day stay and maintain the home's cleanliness. Only trouble we had was the front garden tap couldn't close - even with the garden hose attached. We turned off the water main at times to save the water and reported this. Hopefully fixed by a plumber soon so that we can return!
