This is a really lovely little place. It's a comfortable and cosy property, with enough space for our family of five. The grounds are quite large with lots of quiet corners - it's pretty idyllic. A couple of drawbacks: there's no path on the rather fast road outside, so you slightly take your life in your hands if venturing out on foot. The other is that the grounds aren't secure, so although there's loads of space for a dog, the dog can't be loose if it doesn't have perfect recall.
