    The owners had kindly left lots of 'goodies', which were very welcome.Central position for the town and local amenities. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to other potential visitors.

  • Flora

    It was beautifully clean and the owners had thought of everything! Would really recommend staying here.

  • Annamaria

    Spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped with high quality items and lots of very thoughtful little extras to make us feel welcome - a great way to start a holiday, we very quickly felt at home there. We loved the location too. Short walk to town and station but still very quiet. Thank you so much - we will be returning.
