Used as a base to explore the area. A welcome pack on what is around, emergency contact details would be useful. However there was a drawer of leaflets which we found by chance. The sharp knives had been put away wet and had rust marks on but were fine once scrubbed. It was nice to have a few dishwasher tabs and washing up liquid supplied. Just a few more wooden spoons for cooking would be useful. Very quiet place too. Thank you.

It is really cosy, tastefully decorated and we appreciated the size of the sofas and master bed! A couple of small issues but nothing that would prevent us from staying here again, it really was lovely. Park Wi-Fi was an absolute no-go so make sure you have your own data if you are relying on needing Wi-Fi access and maybe a new hoover as we couldnât get it to work for more than 2 mins and we do like to clean up after ourselves! Would definitely recommend the property to others and would return here again.
