It was missing the glass topper so made it very difficult to rest drinks on it as they would wobble as it wasn’t very stable. Also an umbrella would have been nice when the...

We enjoyed our stay in Ruby cottage. The enclosed garden was great for the dog and MV close to the pool! Just would have loved a parasol outside.

Loved it all especially the lake for paddle boarding and tennis courts. Enjoy Ballihoo and Bakers Arms too. We don’t manage to use the spa because we found it not as easy to book a time slot. The tennis slots online are a good addition. AlsoLove the welcome package
