Clean and tidy with a great outdoor space

4 of 5
This is great place for large groups with multiple living spaces allowing everyone to split up or come together whenever they want. The grounds on the property are fantastic for a quick outdoor game of kick to kick or a brisk walk. The inside is also well setup with a pool table, stable WIFI access two big TVs and a couple of fire places to help keep warm when it's cold. Nath the owner is easy to deal with and responds quickly to queries. If your looking for a country retreat that also allows quick access to shops when needed this is the perfect place.
