    “We were a party of 10 with 2 children and a toddler and Ashness House was perfect.”

    The accommodation was lovely and clean with all the comforts we needed for a lovely holiday experience. I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews as to whether the top bedroom would be too steep for the kids but no need, it was perfect and they loved it. The house was only a very short distance from the lovely town and the weather was great. Car parking was ok, we just moved the car nearer after people left. All in all a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend this property.
