Great location to explore the local area. Only one suggestion, a blind on the velux in the second bedroom, would help the light streaming in so early. Would very happily come back! Thank you Sharon âºï¸ x

It was great for our dog having a large secure grassed area for her to run in. I met both Neil & Sharon who are really lovely and keen to make sure everything was ok for us to have a fantastic time, which we did. Have already recommended it and will return in the future.

Your private courtyard garden has a lovely hot tub, both could have done with a better clean, on the outside of the hot tub and floor of the courtyard. The stairs have a twist in them and the shower is in the bath. So if you had mobility issues then the place is not for you. The bathroom would have been better with just a walk-in shower. One morning we didnât have any hot water. This was reported and fixed quickly. We sat there for an hour waiting for someone to fix it. Whatever the problem we was not told it had been fixed. On the day of departure, maintenance people were in the property as we were loading the car. We found this rather rude and shouldâve waited until we had left. No fire instructions but we did find a fire blanket and extinguisher in a kitchen cupboard. On the whole we enjoyed our stay, the place being new and a year old. Just those pointers for improvement. We would consider returning.
