I had an amazing stay with some friends at this house. Everything was perfect very clean, well organized, and full of small details and accessories that made me feel truly at home and welcome. Out of all the places I’ve stayed, this was by far the best. I’m sure it will give me wonderful memories, and if I ever get the chance, I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing

Amazing place to stay for our large family of 8 adults and 4 children aged 10 - 14. Plenty of space for us all to spread out yet be together. Warm and cosy on rainy days and cold fine days and everything we needed was there. Yes I agree better than the photos

Lovely location close by the river. Great having multiple bathrooms and lots of bedrooms. The living space worked well and it had a great large dinning room table.Unfortunately our check in process was poor due to the wrong keys put in the lock box and the host was slow to reply to messages.It would be great if there was another fridge freezer available as the small one did not really cater for the house numbers. The internet was very slow and frequently stopped and the outside property hadn't really been maintained very well. The deck was dangerously slippery in the wet and the bikes needed repairing before use.It would be a great place to stay if the maintenance had been maintained.
