wanted a quiet few days in a quiet location. Brandy's was perfect. Located close to areas of interest, be it towns, countryside, beaches etc, it was also cosy, comfortable and spot on for a weekend of exploring outdoors and settling in during the evening with some home cooked food , wine and a book. On the veranda. only downside was the entire pack of chocolate digestives that i consumed that had kindly been left as a welcome gift!
