The village is lovely, with just enough local amenities. The games room is great but our group feel it could be improved even further with a TV on the wall and a pool table rather than a snooker table, which would then allow for further seating. A couple of the bathrooms have some minor updates that would enhance the standard of finish.

The cottage we stayed in does need some maintenance and a bit of TLC. There was a broken blind in the top floor family room, broken door handle and shelf in main bathroom, and the gym equipment digital readouts didnât all work.
