There was a problem.with the TV and the host came all the way out to property to fix it for us the same day. We were blown away with how quickly it was sorted. The property was lovely, the kitchen well-stocked with all the equipment you'd need and the place was clean and tidy. Great location for trips to the beach or lounging around in bad weather. Thank you.

Showers fantastic, kitchen well stocked with cooking utensil, beds comfy, fire lovely on cold night . None of the patio lights worked, nor did the power point for hairdryer in bathroom. Had issue with sleepout door, however the house keeper did resolve this promptly. Overall OK.

Accommodation for work activity

Accommodation was good. Thought it might be a bit cold but once we got the fire going it warmed the place up. Kitchen was well equipped which would have been useful if we were there longer. Was well located for our planned activities

Hidden gem.

Owner, Nigel was pleasant to communicate with. The house was clean, tidy and well presented. Well equipped to host friends or family. Lots of space inside and outside. Good for entertaining or just getting away from the hustle and bustle. Really recommend this place. 5 stars from us.

So much to see and do in the area

The bach was perfect for us! Cozy woodburner but spare heaters as well. Very spacious bedrooms, a lovely porch and a secure, fenced garden for our dogs. The house is located very central to all the places we visited but not too busy.

Family Getaway

We loved our stay at Leigh Family Bach! A spacious place the whole family could relax in. We loved the size of the 2 main bedrooms, great for teens! The extra room outside suited our older son and the bedroom off the kitchen suited hubby and I to a T. Great communication with Nigel. Holiday went off without a hitch!

Wedding

We needed a place near the venue of the wedding in Leigh, and this was ideal. It's an older house without air conditioning, but with the large airy rooms and the fans provided, we were comfortable. The property manager was very responsive, and the checking in and out was simple. Very happy.
