The K family
A fantastic find. Spotless cosy home from home. Everything we needed was there and our hosts Tamsyn and Matt were always there if required whilst keeping there distance for our privacy. This is a great location for getting around too as its very central to many places of interest. We would definitely go back and recommend it very highly.
