Great place to visit with friends or family. Lots to do around there. However completely self catered to the point where you need your own bin bags and toilet roll

We stayed here last week. It was brilliant. The accommodation was clean and the kitchen well equipped. The location is perfect, it’s really quiet and the views are great. We done fishing and there are plenty of fish to catch. The specimen lake is a hard lake to catch from. If you go on park lake your definitely catch. The staff were very friendly including the fishing bailiff Terry. The swimming pool is lovely and the games room is great.

Absolutely loved it here! Such a peaceful and beautiful place! The staff were so friendly and helpful and in constant contact when we needed anything.
The place was super clean apart from we found a sock under one of the chair cushions and some toenails on the floor- just a slight over sight that maybe could be looked into.
Also, we visited with my daughter who is wheelchair bound. My daughter absolutely loved the space in the house and the flat grounds which she loved exploring. I took a ramp with me incase and it was well used. I wonder if you would consider making the place more accessible

Good accommodation, beds very comfortable and adequatly stocked with equipment. Be aware after a 7 hour drive we were very saddened no welcome pack to make a cup of tea nearest shop some 4 miles away. Pool brilliant views magnificent around a one hour drive to the beaches. Entry fees to attractions can be very expensive.

An amazing place who catered for our families of 15 people at the very last minute. They moved heaven and earth to make our celebration wonderful after our previous booking cancelled at 2100hrs two days before arrival. Thank you Penny and Claire for making everything possible

Very good accommodation and beautiful surroundings. We did experience some problems when booking, which was unfortunate. We have given this feedback to the owners directly so hopefully this would not occur again.

We hired the swimming pool today and wow it was just lovely. The kids were so happy to have a pool to themselves which was an added little treat over Christmas. A nice warm pool, nice size, and very clean. Great Covid guidelines. Amazing swimming pool. Will 100% be coming again. Thank you
