Lovely location in a quiet corner. 2 excellent pubs nearby. 1 cupboard in the kitchen available for your food is not really enough. Not very clean with alot of cobwebs and dust. Garden needs a tidy up. Very very cluttered with everything you need but almost every draw full of stuff. Otherwise we had a lovely time
