    It was in a great location with easy access to surrounding attractions. On arrival we met Pete who was very welcoming and gave us advice on various things. Strongly recommend

  • Kim

    Exactly as described. Lots of space and well furnished. A lovely welcome pack - much appreciated. The owners really have thought of everything - except a teapot. Beautiful views from the back of the house - some stunning sunsets.
