Everything you needed was in the property, only downside the duvet was far too thin which resulted in loss of sleep due to been cold. Also I donât mind stripping the beds before departure itâs the norm these days, but found all the stains on the pillows (no pillow protectors) quite off putting if Iâd seen this before my stay I wouldnât have used them. Shame about this issue as the property was very clean on arrival!

There was lots of space for the two of us. Sofa and bed were really comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and especially the slow cooker! Great location too. Lovely walks from the door and a short stroll into the village. Would 100% recommend.
