Everything was spotlessly clean, warm, inviting and the Property was well equipped. Alison, as usual, is the perfect host, and every one of her accommodations we have visited has been wonderful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this well equipped house. Everything was so clean and tidy and it had all we needed. Really appreciated the excellent oven. The walks straight from the door were enjoyed by the whole family. Would love to come back.
