We had a pleasant stay. The weather was glorious and we looked forward to sitting and eating outside but the garden furniture in the photos was nowhere to be found-disappointing! The toaster was far too small, only toasting half a slice of bread and the smoke alarm went off every time we opened the oven door. It served as a good base for our stay and the local pub was a bonus.
