This is a lovely property, very well appointed and felt like a home from home rather than a rental.

I stayed at this house with various members of my family to celebrate a big birthday. It is gorgeous, much nicer than the photos suggested, with much prettier (very private) back garden. Lovely big downstairs space with lots of different areas. The master en-suite upstairs was great, with a dressing/closet area and good sized bathroom with walk in Read moreshower. The only thing that would be good to have is another upstairs bathroom, as there is only one family bathroom for the other four bedrooms. 9/10 Hide
