Very well-presented and well-appointed property. Spotlessly clean. The tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs, biscuits and Lavazza coffee pods were all appreciated. The local shops are less than a minute's walk away. It's on the small side - fine for 1 or 2 people, though 3 might be a bit of a squeeze. Others have complained that it can get a bit cold - perhaps they didn't notice that in addition to the radiators the electric fire has an in-built heater, which we found to be more than adequate. Overall, very satisfied and would definitely return.

A very comfortable stay. Maybe not the best place to stay in February as it was very cold and no doors to hall or kitchen meant the heat escaped from the living room area and took such an age to warm up. The welcome box was lovely and the milk in the fridge was a very nice touch as we needed a coffee when we arrived.We forgot to write in the guestbook , but thank you for a good stay.
