Our party of five stayed here and it was a real treat! Spacious, clean and beautifully appointed rooms which felt like a home away from home rather than a hotel. We loved the owners who were so friendly and welcoming. A highlight is the huge open lawn with loads of kids toys and bikes, swings, a trampoline, a basketball hoop, table tennis, totem tennis, badminton, a large pool and a hot, clean spa!
We had a ground floor room facing onto the "parkland" - it was lovely to hang out and play and then watch the kids and other families enjoying the wonderful weather.

Huge kids playground with lots of little bikes and scooters. Nice looking pool too. Caravan just across the road with very nice thai food -o they even brought it to our room ! Would definitely stay here again. Bit of road noise, and tiny shower, but the plusses outweigh...
