We had a fantastic stay! The house was spotless, with comfy beds and good quality linen, which made us feel right at home. There was plenty of space for our group - 6 adults, a toddlerand our dog - and the kitchen was a real highlight, big enough for everyone to gather round the table. Hot water was never an issueand the towels were a nice touch. The garden was secure for our dogand parking was easy. Lovely views and a great location - we’ll definitely be coming back.
