Was amazing , perfect for a family get away . The kids loved it and so did I :) pool was also a big plus for kids they h
Pros:

Was plenty off room, and very clean . Beds were so comfortable which was great after a big day out to have a great sleep

Cons:

The gate down to the shed was very loud if not held and closed gently which took a lot of reminding to kids as it’s spring loaded. Very minor issue ( just some feedback ) not really a problem . It’s a beautiful place to stay
