This wasn’t where we were meant to be staying as our original booking cancelled us on route, so we were very grateful to the housekeeper allowing our the very last minute booking. They turned it around very quickly giving us a place to stay for the week. This was a lovely big house, nice big open plan kitchen diner, very clean and well laid out. The beds were comfortable, the showers were nice and powerful, the family loved the place, even the dog settled straight away, it was a home from home. There were lots of places to get food locally, and a very local petrol station for anything you had forgotten to pick up before settling in for the night. The only down side is that it is on such a busy road, the windows ideally require replacement as the road noise was constant both day and night as if a window was left open which made for a very unsettled night sleep.
