Itâs in a peaceful little village with very friendly residents and ideally located for exploring the wider area. The house came equipped with pretty much anything we could have needed and the welcome guide was detailed and thorough - which was a great help at times. Parking at the rear was good and secure and the enclosed garden was absolutely lovely to spend time in. A big thank you to the owners for a great stay and for the welcoming treats on arrival.

Well equipped for most peopleâs needs. Only drawback is a very steep set of stairs up to the bathroom and toilet.

( the clue is in the name) but big enough for 3 and a dog. It's was clean and well equipped . The biggest issue for us was the WIFI. I had a little work to do but couldn't do it. The WiFi is so slow that we could only connect one thing at a time. If we watched TV then that was it even with the TV off my off my laptop was to slow to be useful. Please put faster WiFi in
