Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We stayed here at the beginning of Jan 26 as a group of couples for our friend’s surprise 40th birthday bash. The accommodation was fabulous. Great house to accommodate large groups. The party room with bar and pool table is perfect. Kitchen was really well equipped - has everything you need and more. This property is great value for money and I would highly recommend.
Negative: Our only criticism would be that the bathrooms (particularly the showers) could do with some investment and upgrading. A few of us tried to use the showers but gave it up as a bad job as the water pressure was really weak and the temperature of the water randomly went from freezing cold to scalding hot. It wasn’t ideal when we were there for 3 nights but we didn’t let it spoil our fun and everything else about the accommodation was perfect 🤩 An extra downstairs toilet or another bathroom would make this property 10/10.
Summary: Highly recommended; huge, spacious and comfortable accommodation which is perfect for large groups. We would definitely
