Vicki says: "All members of our party ( 2 adults 2 children) were very happy with the property, the facilities and the location. The house is very comfortable with ample seating indoors.Hoowever the outside seating could be arranged better particularly around the pool-side in terms of seats, tables and available shade. The setting of the house is beautiful with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. In all a very relaxing house and location."
