Despite our initial reaction the house is in a great location with lots of nearby activities. (RHS Bridgewater, Central Manchester, local shop, 3min walk) The rear open planned, extension is an amazing space with great views of the lake. The secret garden and treehouse is very impressive and family orientated. If there was to be a negative a few areas needed and good clean and if you are very tall the beds seem small. Overall we enjoyed our stay and children loved the pool/ping pong table and the big tv.
