The house is larger than expected and the land around it is enormous. The house is nicely screened and offers a lot of privacy. The interior space is enormous. The seats in the living room are great. The facilities are more than fine. The beds are good. Toilet directly at the downstairs bedroom is a plus. The place is a good base to explore the area where there is also plenty to do. The owners are approachable and friendly. There are a few small points of attention that deserve some attention. I would have the gutters emptied and there are a lot of cobwebs on the window frames (on the outside). However, these are very minor things.

Just the two of us (+dog) but this property will easily accommodate 6 people. Owner was in touch prior to stay to ensure we would have everything we required. Great location, peaceful with good access to various local attractions. Would definitely book again.
