Super house, spacious & well equipped.
We had a lovely stay, especially loving the garden room where we spent most of our time. A good sized secure, dog friendly garden. Great walks, we also did a wild swim behind the castle which was bracing but lovely. A great house for a group and the open fire was a bonus with logs £10 a box which was really handy as we didn’t have to go and source some. Nice & clean with everything we needed. No carpets downstairs so no worrying about mucky paws on carpets. We had a blast, would definitely recommend. Ps thank you for the welcome gifts
