We felt the listing should have mentioned to bring your own oven gloves. The house it'self was equipped very well and very comfortable. We didn't use the car for several days, it was great to be able to walk into town and explore. Plenty to do and enjoyed the discovery trail.We would recommend to friends and family and would stay in the property again. There were a couple of cobwebs but I think that was down to the time of year. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

The location is great, perfect for walking into town. The nearby playground was an unexpected bonus for the kids. We did struggle with the under counter fridge freezer which is too small for a family of four unless youâre mostly eating out. It would be good to have more towels, two bath towels per person would have been much better. And a warning for those with adventurous kids, we couldnât figure out how to lock the door from the insideâ¦.
