Summary: This was a multigenerational family get together to celebrate a big birthday. We were aged from 10 weeks to 77 years old! We all enjoyed this most comfortable house, which was probably the best equipped I have ever stayed in. Comfort and cleanliness were exceptional and the contact before and after from Orion was superb. We were familiar with the location but again enjoyed walks, swimming and cycling. Views of the lake from the house were great and we enjoyed our resident cuckoo and muntjac deer. A relaxing 5 nights and generally good weather added to our enjoyment . I would be more than happy to visit this property again.
