It’s a lovely house in an excellent, very quiet position. The fire was a much appreciated touch on the couple of very wet days we had. Kitchen was very well equipped and the Nespresso coffee was awesome.

Such a lovely house! Had an amazing weekend here. The house was slightly further out of the town than it looked on the map, and also up/down a few hills so wasn't quite the walking distance we thought it was. Views were absolutely stunning to wake up to & look at throughout the day. Kitchen & bathrooms were well equipped. The only negative would be there was a few places where dust gathered, and the spare duvets smelt a bit musty after being in a cupboard but we would absolutely stay here again. Check in was easy, lovely welcome hamper & really appreciated the later checkout so we could watch the football before departing. Thanks for having us!

Great location!

As a group of 5 we had a great stay. The location was fabulous and to have a washer/dryer combo to catch up on some laundry after traveling for almost 2 weeks was such a bonus.
