A beautiful bungalow - immaculately clean. Jan's homemade scones were great! Milk in the fridge when we arrived was appreciated. Very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Also, lovely and warm as it was October when we stayed! We have been several times and love it. Thank you Jan.
