It's a super house, great location, clean, spacious and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks owner Sally.

Take some slippers, as the carpets are pure quality.

From a blender to a pastry brush, thereâs everything you could possibly think of in the kitchen. The photos do not do this stay justice at all. The rooms are massive, the furniture and doors are too making it look regular sized! We cannot fault a single thing. Perfectly situated for the village (definitely head to Mrs Browns for a cream tea!) and about 20 minute drive from every key location in the surrounding area.
