Crosslands is a lovely bungalow in a peaceful friendly village. The accommodation is bright, airy and comfortable. The view from the back of the property something special. We have been to many holiday lets over the past 30 years but this one just ticked all the boxes for us. The village was quiet, there was a children’s park area a minute from the property, with a well cared for community space to sit and relax. They also provide doggy poo bags just in case! Ideal for those who want to get away from the business of life; also good for couples with a young family. Children would love the park and the Shetland ponies next door! There were some local attractions to visit and more places if willing to travel further. Dorothy was really helpful and kind.We can highly recommend.
