Everywhere was clean and it was great to be able to sit together to eat or socialise - but there was sufficient space to be separate if necessary The hot tub was a definite plus Parking was not a problem - even for 8 cars - and parking discs and scratch off cards were provided. We rang owner on arrival as key safe was empty - she was very helpful and issue was resolved in minutes. House is only a few minutes walk from Peasholm Park and North Bay. There is a convenient shop, chip shop and even a bar ( although we didnât go in) close by . Would definitely return if doing a group holiday again

Really comfortable and clean. Excellent information all laid out and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. Unfortunately the outside space had cat poo right next to the outdoor eating space (which had obviously just been covered over with straw, rather than cleaned up.) The facilities team responded by text to us but didn't come to clean it up so we just couldn't face using that area. This was a disappointment in a house that cost so much to hire.
