Beautifully furnished with quirky finishing touches that give it a real cottage feel. Practical and clean with everything you need. Everything is kept simple so you can feel at home very quickly. The handbook is useful and kept free of clutter so you see the important bits, including some suggestions for places to visit and eat etc. The welcome gift was appreciated. Thank you. Weâll be back!
