“We booked this accommodation for a family reunion over the Easter break.”
While we felt it was quite expensive, we decided to treat ourselves, which naturally meant our expectations were high. We had stayed somewhere similar in 2025 for around half the price, so inevitably we were comparing the two.
Our first impressions were very positive. The house itself is lovely, the hot tub was excellent, and the views were beautiful. It’s also ideally located close to town, making it convenient to pop to the supermarket for anything we’d forgotten.

While we felt it was quite expensive, we decided to treat ourselves, which naturally meant our expectations were high. We had stayed somewhere similar in 2025 for around half the price, so inevitably we were comparing the two.
Our first impressions were very positive. The house itself is lovely, the hot tub was excellent, and the views were beautiful. It’s also ideally located close to town, making it convenient to pop to the supermarket for anything we’d forgotten.
However, there were a few aspects that disappointed us. The grass was quite long on arrival, which was a shame, particularly given the nice weather forecast. There were also some essential items missing — no disinfectant spray, meaning the kitchen could only be cleaned with a washing-up sponge, and no bin bags, which made tidying up difficult. These are small but essential items, and it was disappointing that they weren’t provided.
A travel cot was supplied, which we appreciated, but I would say it’s only suitable for a baby under one year old. Our one-year-old had outgrown it and didn’t sleep particularly well as a result. I was also expecting to find a welcome booklet but couldn’t see one, so we weren’t sure what was expected on departure, such as whether bedding needed to be stripped.
With a few small improvements, this could be a lovely place to stay. However, I don’t feel it offered value for the price we paid. We looked at booking again next year, but over £1,000 for three days feels extremely steep for what is provided. Also, when contacting the owners prior to arrival, I found their responses by abrupt.
