This was such a great place to stay, very well equipped house, beautiful garden, comfortable and plenty of room. Wonderful kitchen and a bathroom for each bedroom including a wet room. The stove in the sitting room was amazing! Everything was thought of in the kitchen so preparing meals was a breeze with easy to operate appliances.Very close to A1 and Dunbar for shopping and the wonderful community bakery. I hope we get the opportunity to return.
