We had a lovely stay but would be better in the summer to enjoy the surroundings for walking. There isn't a lot going on in the village but other villages and towns are within easy access by car and buses. The bungalow was lovely and adequate for two people. The main bathroom was off the kitchen and you have to walk through the kitchen and lounge to get to bedroom. There is a very steep path up to the bungalow, pity couldn't park closer. Finally although recycling bin in kitchen nowhere to put it outside property just one general waste bin.
