This is the best equipped holiday let we have stayed at, it has everything you could possibly need girls a self catering holiday. It's got such a cosy feel to it. We have a 2 year old so needed a cot and stair gate- both were set up on arrival which anyone travelling with young children will know is rare. We typically have to go looking for them in dusty cupboards. The cot also had a lovely thick mattress and bedding - again this is very rare as it usually states no mattress or bedding so this was highly appreciated. Little touches like toiletries and welcome treats were wonderful. They even left Halloween chocolate lollies along with the packs of biscuits for our 2 children. Parking is down the side of the house but plenty big enough for a big family sizes SUV. Beds were very comfortable. 2 bathrooms was fantastic as my parents were with us for a couple of days so there was no arguing. Very central location. Absolutely won't be our last visit.

Summerseat is spotlessly clean and so comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything anyone could want so it really did feel like home from home. All the amenities, furniture and appliances are absolutely top quality. It was a lovely thoughtful touch to find a welcome gift of milk, chocolate cookies and even a bottle of Prosecco ! Angela sent us a text with key code information in plenty of time before we arrived. Itâs a really good location and we were able to visit several areas easily. Daughter and family have stayed here twice so it already and deservedly came highly recommended. Itâs the best weâve ever stayed in and have already booked again for next Summer. Thank you so much Angela.

Absolutely fabulous holiday home in every way from furnishings to central location, a lovely garden with table and chairs which was a sun trap late morning and afternoon, this is not a criticism but the walk in shower really should have a grab rail as the base of the shower even with the mat was difficult to get out of, but we had a wonderful holiday with the most lovely weather
