The house has been renovated to a high standard with quality fittings and fixtures ,the pool table was great fun we all enjoyed that in the evenings and the beds were extremely comfortable .The small negatives are no guaranteed parking ,some other self contained cottages do provide permits for holiday lets . There are no full size mirrors in the bedrooms and the one television in the house doesn’t appear to have television channels only the Chanel apps through the internet where Live Chanel’s don’t always work well (internet dependant ). The house didn’t have a welcome pack for our weeks stay , the website says we would be left one and it also says a bath is in the main bathroom, when I fact there was no bath in the house at all only showers . With the rental being on the higher budget side we also felt the master bedroom at least ,should also have had a television in the room given the home can accommodate 6 people.However we absolutely loved our stay and will definitely consider booking again some day. ##### Laura Clayton This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Trueman 9 Apr 2025 #### Great place and really enjoyed it.
