Easy self check in. Kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking and baking plus air fryer and slow cooker and rice cooker. Great communal areas including outdoor areas which were usable in the bright winter days we were blessed with. Good showers one upstairs bathroom and one downstairs bathroom. Bunk room is downstairs and rest of the bedrooms are upstairs. Light and Bright decor. Great comfy pillows. Many gorgeous wool blankets. We didn’t end up using the wood burner but there was plenty of wood. The house stayed very cosy with just the heat pump run in the morning and later evening. The house is a sun trap in the day.

Our party of 12 had a great stay at Tessa property. Location was perfect for what we wanted (kids had a ball riding their bikes around the nice quite cul-de-sac, river/local cafe/playground within nice walking distance). House was well stocked w everything we needed & had plenty of room for everyone (kids loved all staying together in the big bunk room). Brazier was a nice touch for some mid-winter cheer. Tessa was a very responsive & accommodating host.
