Melanie and Richard
This was an absolute gem for a couple ( and if you had a dog it was ideal with all ground floor and an enclosed garden) It was much bigger than we expected and everything was so clean and comfortable. There was even a welcome pack as a lovely surprise. We would definitely recommend it and hope to stay there again ourselves. AND it had off road parking- perfect!!
