"Fab extended family getaway!"

10.0

A bathroom for each bedroom was superb. Very clean. All amenities were in good condition. Accessible for our elderly family members.

A little bit steamy in the bathrooms but extractor fans are installed. A lovely old property with quirks and charm. Check out was clearly communicated 10am, but the Alsco linen collection arrived at 930am. They left us to get ourselves out (we were packing the cars) but still felt a little rushed.

"Fabulous"

10.0

The 5 bedrooms, each with an ensuite was brilliant. We were 5 friends catching up and it was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed, the lounge was very comfortable , the showers were hot and had great pressure, beds were all comfy. The spa was AMAZING. Peaceful location, even the train was very quiet, as was the road noise. We can see why this property is not often available. Communication was fabulous from booking through to arrival

A shame the petanque balls were missing 😕
