This property exceeded our expectations and the photographs don't do it justice.The property was well equipped, comfortably furnished and very spacious.Absolutely loved the sun room where we spent our evenings watching the birds go to roost and then the bats and rabbits venturing out.We would definitely stay here again.A couple of minor faults - carpet on one of the steps was loose. Bathroom sink too small and a set of coat hooks by the front door would have been nice.
