Good size, lovely quiet location. Only problem was we couldn't find the hole in the lawn for the washing line/clothes dryer. The table worked. Would visit again.

This is a pleasant holiday home let down by the double bedroom.We found the mattress very uncomfortable.The blackout curtains were compromised by many small holes in the backing. In our opinion these need to be changed. On the whole this is a very clean, easy to use, well equipped holiday home.
