Really well-equipped, very comfortable, everything we needed exactly where we needed it to be. If there were a 10 star rating for cleanliness I’d give it. Tea, coffee, milk all ready for us. Owner (next door) very friendly and told us to let him know if we had any problems, which we didn’t, but left us alone. Beautiful garden. Thoroughly recommend this property.
