Wow, from beginning to end, so much space, the games room was great fun, the whole place was cosy and the owners were so welcoming. We had dogs with us and lots of walks to go on nearby. Would definitely love to stay again.

There was plenty of room. The games room and the films were well used by everyone. We had pool and darts competitions every night. The kayaks and paddle boards were an added bonus.
