Plenty of room for us all, and made even better by some mainly fine weather so we sat in the lovely garden much of the time. We dined at the Miners Arms and had a friendly welcome and great food. The house really is appointed nicely with no expense spared on the furnishings and fittings. The bed linen, carpets and towels were all luxurious. A few really tiny things let it down and may help others - lack of any oven gloves or tea towels (I burned my arm on the oven while juggling a hot baking tin), not enough clothes pegs or loo rolls, the driveway was "interesting" to turn into, batteries in TV remote had run out and perhaps a guide on local dog walks from the house would have been good. As i said these were minor and overall its a lovely comfortable and spacious home with lots of creature comforts and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone. ##### Christina J.
