Great property, with five good sized room, all with en suite facilities. Location is perfect, so many pubs and restaurants in the village. Unfortunately we visited during a very stormy weekend but the house was lovely and cozy. Very happy with it.

Excellent holiday house, close to restaurants, shops, pubs, visiting attractions, the lake and a bus stop right outside the gate to the house. Plenty of space for all of us and an en-suite to every bedroom - perfect !!!

Great location with a bus stop outside. We managed to park 4 cars without a problem. Well equipped ( when we located everything) so suited all our cooking needs. Everyone reported comfortable beds.
