There was no available wood for the outside fire , but after calling the property manager we were able to get into the lock up shed to get wood. Lower lounge/ big bedroom had no heating that worked , but again they came and brought in other heating. Lovely spa pool entered the young adults too. Great for larger families - ##### michelle k.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca P. 11 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We had a lovely stay at this property. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. We had a great stay at this property. I guess the only negative would be that there was no children's utensils and plates etc when it was advertised that they had these items. And just a few other kitchen items missing like a bottle opener, more serving plates and oven trays for the oven would have been handy. A drying rack for towels and togs would have been handy too. Overall we had a lovely and comfortable stay here though and would definitely like to stay again. Thank you ##### Rebecca P. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ---
