Reviews
I would give this a minus score if I could. The 'access lanes,' are so narrow you can guarantee your car will get scratched. Another way in/out has got occasional passing points but is still very narrow. Especially when you meet a tractor!! The trampoline is falling apart with rusty springs (some not even attached) with brambles all around dangerous for children. The AGA needed a thorough clean although we didn't use it but electric oven is in the utility room next to the kitchen where pots, plates etc are located. Definitely would not recommend !
