- Review: We had house 4 which was very spacious. Large lounge with steps down to kitchen/dining area. 2 double bedrooms + double sofa bed in dining area. Both bedrooms had ensuite. One had a shower, the other had a jacuzzi bath + shower over it. Staff r incredibly friendly & helpful. The accommodation is set on a golf course so it is very quiet and a long walk to the local village...but a 5 minute drive.
