We enjoyed our stay in this very well appointed house. Sadly we were unable to enjoy the lovely garden areas due to the horrible weather. It is ideally situated within a short walk of the town and well placed for visiting the surrounding areas. Great to have private parking big enough for large car, but be aware you can only back into the drive and it can be tricky when cars are parked opposite. We would certainly consider staying there again.
