Rowanlea is a lovely well equipped house in a good location. The back sun room and gardens are fantastic, even in the rain! The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The only downside is that the front door opens on to quite a busy road, but that is forgotten once indoors.

The house exceeded our expectations. Such a spacious family home with plenty of utensils and crockery. The beds were really comfy. The garden was stunning! I would highly recommend this property.
