It was a great location, and had everything you could need. All the fixtures and furnishings were of a high quality, leading to a very comfortable stay. The hosts provided excellent information and the parking permit for the car park was most welcome. We made good use of the bus services whilst there. It was a real home from home and we wouldn't hesitate in booking again in the future.

We appreciated the goodies left and the close proximity to restaurants, shops and walks was a bonus. Having the parking permit meant we hardly used our car. We look forward to our next visit.
