We are proud of our holidays and the experiences we provide – we use “Upfront Reviews” across all of our properties – just check out the property and see the reviews – but we think this review says it all………
We have recently stayed at Britannia house……. wow wow wow what a house it is even better in the flesh(than the photos). We went as a family and we all had our own rooms and a bathroom each.
Waking up to the incredible views was breath taking. The pool was nice the pub on sight was nice and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It is a safe site for children to enjoy and play outside.
Anthony who I booked with was just the best so helpful and communicated great. Thank you so much we can’t wait to return we loved it!
