Had a great holiday, was up there for 2 weeks. Great location very close to the town. Just a few suggestions as I’ve stayed at this place a few times over the passed years.. the tv could do with an update, maybe a smart tv. As we didn’t want to go out every night but couldn’t even watch much on the tv as old and only freeview with hardly any channels. Also dvd player doesn’t really work allows maybe 1 or 2 dvds to actually work. Secondly the kitchen could do with an update as the cooker isn’t the best. Apart from that nice and big very spacious and great holiday!

Fantastic house. Comfortably fit 6 adults although the property sleeps 8 another two adults in the living room may have been a squeeze. All bedrooms were great and we will definitely be back. Thanks for a brilliant week.
