Very pleasant and clean accommodation, well equipped and comfortable environment in a quiet location on a private driveway with parking for a single car. High quality standard through-out the property of furnishings and appliances, will encourage most holiday renters to care for the property whilst in residence. Warm and cosy throughout the property, everything is supplied for a relaxing holiday breakaway. The welcome basket was very much appreciated after our long drive from home, as was the free Wi-Fi availability.
