Lovely house—booked again! Was expecting the odd basic in the kitchen (a tea bag or two, for example) but very minor niggle, given how comfortable and warm we were.

We had a fabulous family holiday at The Limes. It is spacious, warm, and comfortable. The games room was a hit with youngsters and older members of the family. The hosts are lovely and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend it.
