We loved the spacious living area, the hot tub and BBQ area and large enclosed garden for the dog. It was very clean and well equipped and the host was very welcoming and helpful. The fridge etc. were big enough for 5 of us. The games provided were fun and the TV was perfect for the Olympics! The surroundings were peaceful and quiet and fairly close to a lovely walk along the river. The fact the property was gated gave us a strong sense of security, but we weren't far from towns and we were able to arrange a food delivery. Another guest said: "Huge house with loads of space, interesting history to the building, amazing private outside space for BBQs and hot tub! Quiet location in the beautiful countryside. Lots of toilet rolls provided!!"

The hot tub didn't warm up much the second time we were in it despite upping the temperature. Would be worth adding blackout coverings to the upper part of the windows in one of the bedrooms (the downstairs one without the ensuite). A second guest said: "it was nice but it was a bit weird that the ensuite loo had a two way view of the hot tub and the blind was broken! I mean no one wants to wave at a man when he’s cracking one out!" So maybe a privacy window or better blind to be fitted.
