Convenient, comfortable and cosy

An excellent location for having Christmas in easy reach of elderly relatives, only a minute's walk from the High Woods Country Park and not very far on foot to the big Tesco superstore. The house was comfortable with a good layout for four adults, especially the kitchen/dining area, and beautifully warm. The kitchen was a little under-equipped for serious cooking, but we brought a lot of things with us anyway. There were a couple of maintenance issues that need addressing, one of which the host immediately offered to have fixed, but which didn't significantly affect us. We had a very good stay.
