The house was lovely and warm when we arrived and it’s a good size, we did have a few issues with smoke and diesel smells coming through the adjoining garage when in the game’s room. The kitchen had lots of coffee machines/ ovens but no instructions on how to work anything! The pots and pans were limited and to be honest past their best - we struggled to cook anything. And most disappointing was the bathroom wasn’t very clean so we had to clean it prior to using! The property needs an outside light as there’s a small step you can’t see ! Apart from that it was fine !

Great location. For a short stay we didnt need to use the car. All amenities within a short walk. The house was very comfortable and warm for a winter visit.
