Very pleased with the accomodation and perfect for a couple.How lovely to have a welcome selection of milk/scones/jam/cream and a bottle of wine: all much appreciated.We didn't want for anything: a well equiped kitchen comfortable living room and bedroom.A bright and cheerful place to stay with windows on three sides.Great selection of maps, books and DVDs not that we had time for the latter.We've been lucky with the weather being exceptionally mild for the time of year.So much to see in the area and we will be back without doubt.
