I have to say, the weather was very kind to us but property is within easy reach of many attractions......we did Monkey World.

This is a beautiful property in a tranquil, rural setting. Our party comprised two families, both with two teenagers apiece, and a a grandad (me). We have rented many holiday homes across the UK for our family group of nine but what makes this property stand out is the excellent living space, i.e. a huge kitchen/diner, a vast lounge which could seaRead moret us all and a clever mezzanine lounge/games room allowing for different activities.

Loved our stay in this very well equipped & designed house. Friendly & helpful hosts. Having the mezzanine means that guests have options for relaxing or for using the games in there. Lack of outside play area means that it might not be ideal for those with younger children. Within easy reach of many attractions.

Great house for a multigenerational holiday- lots of space for everyone! We had four generations from 11 months to 86. Great that there are rooms downstairs and everyone enjoyed having their own bathroom. The games room was amazing too. The house is very well stocked for 12 people - no running out of plates!
