I cannot fault this property , everything you needed. Unfortunately for us we were there during the heat wave week June 26 fans were supplied but once the hot air was in the house the fans were just moving the hot air around . No fault of the owner what so ever the weather was not his fault at all .Would go again but hopefully we choose a less hot week next rime.

The property is located on a very busy main road, with parking in a layby. This did not detract from our stay. Our hosts were very friendly and the Welcome Pack was the best we have ever had. The house has all the facilities that you require and more and is a very comfortable home. An electric iron was the only item missing.The back garden is a haven for bird life, with visitors such as Woodpeckers, Nut Hatches and scores of Robins, Blue tits and Great titsThere are numerous good walks around and near the property and the local Londis is a two minute walk away.
