Helen
The town had a couple of pubs, and cafés plus a CO- OP for groceries. We liked having a real fire to keep us warm in the evenings, it made for a lovely atmosphere after walking all day. The property would benefit from supplying a hair dryer and a mirror near a wall socket but other than that it had everything you could need.
