Second time staying here while visiting our daughter. Lovely comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. In walking distance of the town. Good off road parking and a nice enclosed garden for the dog. My only slight gripe is would like to see some form of covering over the two drains by the back door.

A very clean and well equipped bungalow. My only issues were the temperamental shower that needs updating along with some furnishings and I agree the drains need a board over them, specially as the outside light is quite dim. A few little tweaks and I would definitely be back. Great location too!
