Very modern and comfortable

Great new modern house with EVERYTHING you need (or could think of). Owners were also very prompt and proactively asked how they could best set up the rooms as we had 2 young kids. Only gripe was the cleaners were still there after our check in time and as a result left before they had fully completed. All in all, a great stay!

Absolute Gem Inside & Out

We hired the property for a family get together. Everyone was impressed. The bedrooms are all a decent size. The outside deck, furniture & spa were spacious enough for all 8 of us. All furniture & fittings are of a very good quality. We used the communal tennis courts, trampoline and pool, which was a bonus as we didnt think it would be open. Would absolutely recommend this pr

Perfect long weekend with friends

The house was gorgeous and well equipped, would stay here again. Stayed with a group of friends to celebrate a big birthday, there were 8 of us in total. The lead booker had the master suite and the other 3 couples shared the main bathroom. Pros: loved the high ceilings in the lounge kitchen and the fabulous kitchen.Cons: Spa pool only really big enough for 2 to 4 max. Lack of mirrors in 2 of the bedrooms.
