Absolutely loved this property, the only reason I didn't give it 5* was because the heating is on a timer that we couldn't override or turn up. As it was the last week of October we really needed the heat. The other thing that would of been nice was a winter weight quilt. Everything else was perfect. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The telly was a bit small for our old eyes. The location is perfect, so close to the town with plenty of choice of venues to eat or takeaways. A very short drive and you are in the countryside. I would definitely recommend this property. We would definitely return but maybe in the summer.
