House is comfortable and clean and the owner was very responsive on WhatsApp to deal with any minor niggles. Would stay here again.

The house was very clean, comfortable and had plenty of room. The local pub was a perfect place to unwind after each day of traveling. Paul (the bartender) was so helpful and even opened the grocery late one evening for us to get a few supplies. We would love to return some day.
