The garden was dog safe and there was a nice patio area to sit out when the weather is fine. Overall the property was a little outdated and tired in places for instance the chairs in the dining room are too small in height for the table but the main rear bedroom and bathroom were fine.

The rooms were just so cosy and the kitchen was equipped with all we needed. Great shower and the bonus of a washing machine. As soon as our work holiday dates allow, we want to go back as was everything we needed. Thanks also to Kate and the cleaning service, you're marvelous. X
