We loved the house. Very comfortable and well equipped. Excellent kitchen diner with access to an enclosed garden. Very comfy big comfortable bed. Just a couple of slight issues. The sofas in the lounge have seen better days. An abundance of cushions helped with adding support. An ensuite with no door felt a bit strange. We were just one couple so we managed fine but if all rooms were used I would have felt a tad uncomfortable. Otherwise we loved it all. Thank you

Cosy, well equipped house where we spent a very restful week. The bed was comfy, the shower was great and hot water plentiful. The kitchen had everything we needed and was lovely and spacious. The location is great: shops on the doorstep and parking is easy.
