Put Wiffi Booster info in booklet at House so people renting property can have options if they need to use wifi in property. Apart from that we had a great Stay with Family over New Year

Situated in beautiful grounds with lake and river flowing through. Well maintained, just perfect. We made good use of this. Location good. Plenty to do in area. Beds are comfortable, but house overall badly needs some serious TLC, deep cleaning and refurbishment.

Great location for a restful week. The views are truly wonderful and we were left to get on with the holiday. The cottage was a bit short of equipment in the kitchen, but we managed. Plenty of space for 8 people and 2 dogs. Master bedroom had a very comfortable bed. Bring your bug spray as youll need it in the evening but its in the country, near wRead moreater, so expected.
