A bungalow with wonderful 1950's charm. Quiet, comfortable, and great value. Seems underpriced but can't complain . Very clean and every facility that one could require. Love the fact that the owner is 're-wilding' the borders etc. Only a short drive/medium walk to a local pub -The Fountain.(but closed Mon,Tues,Wed). I will definately be rebooking this lovely bungalow. Just superb-especially the history of the property which is evident within the building.
