Spacious, bright and comfortable house with well-equipped kitchen. It was a great base from which to explore what turned out to be a lovely area for a holiday with the grandkids.

The drive and the steps to the property were challenging! The only criticism is there were no jugs or bowls to use in the microwave and no instructions for the oven - as a gas cooker user we had to guess - but we got there . Thanks for a lovely stay.
