Spacious and comfortable accommodation, well-presented. The welcoming vase of flowers was a lovely touch! We did have a couple of minor issues with the downstairs toilet door lock and we couldnât open the kitchen cabinet on the last day, but this did not detract from a most enjoyable stay! Thank you!
