I suppose some parts of the house are getting tired but still a great place to have fun. A few things that do need addressing are⦠A ball for the table football Ripped pool table Maybe a hand towel in the toilet next to the utility room. A air fryer would be good Better WiFi. Particularly good was the swimming pool and both jacuzzis. The garden area and bbq. All bedrooms beds and pillows. We will be back!!!?

An indoor and outdoor hot tub, and a lovely super warm indoor private pool, were amazing. Property is full of charm and amazing oak beams but unlike many cottages it's massive, spacious, and flows beautifully, and despite this still felt warm and cosy. Lovely open fire, and the owners provided wood and firelighters which was a nice touch. Great kitchen, great cooker and lots of pans and utensils if you like to cook. Bedrooms nice and spacious, lots of ensuites, and a great bedroom for 4, which the kids loved, and with access to the pool house. And even though it's dog friendly, it smelt fine and wasn't tatty or damaged in anyway. It's just an amazing property. Now for the negatives and what could be improved. Games room needs a bit of love. The table football had no ball, aside from a ping pong ball which is no good. Snooker table had no chalk until I bought some. The basketball was flat. Its a great space and even with a nice working TV, but you can't use most of the games. I'd suggest a good ping pong table addition and keep the pool table and table football, but maintain them properly. It was too rainy for the outside ping pong and the bats were damaged and perished anyway. Some money needs spending on the showers and bathrooms, a bit of modernisation, as in places they are a bit tired. For me it's a 9 out 10, and with not that much money, it can easily be a 10. I would certainly go back in a heartbeat.

Ideal for groups or families. However the house is in need of a good deep clean. All bathrooms very grubby, particularly the pool room. Lot of grime around shower stalls. Faulty shower in the basement which made it impossible to turn the temperature down from scolding. Lot of dust on lamp shades etc. Kitchen needs some attention also, broken toaster, dodgy dishwasher and extractor not working. In spite of all this, we had a wonderful time and would definitely look at re-booking.
