We stayed here as a group travelled to attend the event. Communication with the owner was great and prompt and the location was perfect for our stay. The only disappointment was that the spa advertised in the listing was unavailable during our stay. Overall, we still had a good stay.Thanks Ohana

Lovely stay, lovely home. Thank you so much
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
We had a wonderful stay as a large group of friends celebrating a couple of life’s milestones in style with a chef preparing and creating a special surprise degustation dinner. It catered for our large group perfectly. And a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2024
A few things to be aware of before you book.
The central heating was not working, and the house is large so it’s needed. The property managers weren’t helpful on arrival to get it working. Someone came the next day but had no luck. I think this was connected to the heated towel rails also not working.
The outdoor fireplace only works (20 min at a time) if you press the ignition button along with using a light and match. Its must be an old fireplace. The flames were coming out a bit too far as well.
The kitchen is not well equipped for the size of the house.
The odd mouse was seen running around the kitchen. Also note the spa pool is at the front near the road, not on the deck as the photos. It’s a bit weird and cold run to the house.
