  • "Owner was fabulously helpful, kind and friendly."

    The accommodation, location and setting was perfect for us, and we're already looking to book again. Our only suggestion would be to add a shower over the bath in the ensuite, as having 2 showers in the property would be helpful, but other than that, it was perfect for us. It was a real pleasure to stay here. Garden was amazing for kids and dog, sofas and beds comfortable, all wonderfully clean and tidy. Kitchen had everything you would need. We will definitely stay again.

    Thank you so much for this feedback Property Owner
