We have stayed in other properties and we felt this property by far surpassed them. The location was amazing with fantastic views from the windows front & back. The house is so close to the town center but far enough away to not hear any noise only bird song, it's also perfect for walking and forgetting about your car for the week. There is a designated parking space directly at the back of the property and the house is accessible via the rear gate which is great for loading & unloading. The property was clean and beautifully decorated and furnished throughout, it had a great TV and choice of channels and a good shower in main bathroom. We made a couple of suggestions on ways to improve the property and the comments were appreciated and are being fulfilled. There were only two of us staying here so the dining table was more than big enough for us to eat at one end and do a jigsaw at the other! This is a great house in a great location and would definitely recommend it to others.

It was very clean and freshly decorated. We would have preferred a bath. The double bed in the back bedroom seemed a little small. It was VERY squeaky and creaky. The synthetic bedding meant that we constantly woke up during the night, very hot and sweating. Poor quality kitchen utensils meant that we didn't cook as much as we would have liked e.g. knives not sharp, frying pan with non stick coating flaking off.
