Very spacious and comfortable. Check in was easy. Extremely clean, and little extras contributed to very easy stay.Had trouble getting basic Freeview on the TV. Maybe some detailed instructions could help. Also some house specific notes eg detailing the path down to town through the Park would be good.

We really enjoyed our stay here . The house was large and comfortable . We found it very clean , and had everything we could have needed . A lovely touch was some milk and a packet of chocolate biscuits waiting in the fridge for us . It was wonderful being able to bring our dog with us .
