Have used silver birches for 5 years now,perfect little house that has a well equipped kitchen for cooking your own meals. The house has also been recently fitted with new French doors which really opens it up nicely onto the large decking space.If you like fishing as we do there's plenty of space to fish from. There are pubs,various shops and a tackle shop close by. Will back next year.
