Beautiful home in a lovely location, our black lab was in his element in the beautiful safe enclosed garden,,we both loved our morning coffee on the decking watching our little deer friend in the land behind the house.. The house had everything and more from a fully equipped kitchen to lovely little touches in the form of a very nice welcome box,, little bottles of toiletries which our granddaughter loved and a handy sewing kit... Thank you Joanne and Raymond for a lovely stay the Fish house is a credit to you both hopefully we will visit again very soon..

Lovely secluded cottage, bright, clean and the most kitchen utensils I’ve ever seen in a holiday let. Plenty of parking and the decking area is a sun trap.
