0 pm. Had no difficulty finding the entry key. The property was in a nice clean and tidy condition. A selection of DVD and children's games etc would be a good idea for those rainy days. All appliances were in good working condition. The garden is nice and private, with trees and a nicely mowed lawn. There is a handy Spar shop a short walk away, and plenty of nice eating places within reasonable travelling distance.

It had a lovely, safe garden which our dog enjoyed and, inside, it was comfortable and well set out. The kitchen was well supplied so cooking decent meals wasn't arduous. The location meant we never had to drive long distances to placed so I would heartily recommend it.
