  • "Great place to stay, would 100% book again."

    The house was very spacious and well equipped, the 2 double bedrooms were very large, plenty of seating space in the lounge and dining area, Kitchen has everything you need including a very large oven/hob The courtyard is small and only has 2 chairs (any more would crowd it) so not suitable for 8 people to use, but a very short walk to the village centre and its amenities more than makes up for this. Nice touch of a Nespresso coffee machine and pods for use. Things that could be better would be shower space…..the ground floor shower works well but is not too large a cubicle. The 1st floor bathroom has a shower mixer tap but no where to hook up the shower head or a shower screen/curtain so not really useable as a stand-up shower. The Tap in the Kitchen is way over complicated for what it is. Overall great place to stay.

    Hi Paul, Thanks for your positive review and constructive input. The bathroom tap was changed over after your stay and your feedback on the downstairs bathroom is appreciated, we plan to put in a new bathroom downstairs this year. Thanks again for your kind feedback, we’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
