Wonderful house. Cannot fault it in any way. The welcome packs were outstanding both for us and for our dogs too.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. Sitting areas were comfortable as were the bedrooms. Beautifully furnished and with so many books and games you needed more than a week!Excellent well fenced garden, fully dog proof.Warm and cosy even in March with fabulous views of the Solent.Brilliant, we have already booked again for next year.
