Absolutely ideal for two - comfortable and spacious. The property had a small enclosed paved garden area where we were able to sit out and eat. The small conservatory was nice for reading. The bedroom had plenty of storage and the bed was super comfortable . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
