An excellent property with exceptional facilities. Superb west facing patio giving excellent views of the sunset. Only the proximity of the A19 prevented it from getting the fifth star for Location. The spa room is an unusual twist and preferable to an outdoor jacuzzi. Having 2 large bedrooms with more-than-generous en suite bath/ shower rooms makes it ideal for 2 couples.
