Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property lives up to the photographs and is extremely well equipped with all items such as kitchen equipment bring in as new condition . Beds are comfortable if slightly soft for some of our family . The pool is large and kept nicely warm and the kids spent hours in there . The village pub is worth a visit but book if you wish to eat there as space is limited . ##### Colin M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mollie D.
