The house was ideally located for lovely forest walks from the front door and other attractions a short drive away. The kitchen was well stocked with in terms of equipment and condiments (although a pizza cutter would have been useful) . Enclosed garden was ideal for the dog and a nice sitting out area to eat outside and enjoy a BBQ.Met both neighbours who were absolutely lovely too. Owners friendly and sent a message to check in during the week too. All in all a great holiday home.
