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 .

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.

Thanks for the review — good to hear check-in was easy and the place felt spacious and spotless, with the small extras pulling their weight. The Freeview trouble is on us, and your suggestion is the fix: we're writing up clear step-by-step instructions so the TV isn't a guessing game. We're also adding house notes for the things only locals know — starting with the walkway down through the park into town. You left the property in great shape, which doesn't go unnoticed. You'd be welcome back any time.
