"Great property, brilliant location."
Great outside space and equipped with everything you could need and more. beds are comfy, good bathroom, well equipped kitchen, great utility type space. No parking, but not a problem as plenty nearby and owners offer a permit for car park. Clean, comfy and very close to everything. Unable to get 'normal / live tv' but only a small point. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again.
So glad you had such a good time and thanks for reviewing us. I’ll add something extra about the TV in the Welcome letter to help folk with that. Glad you’re wanting to come back again. Do book early as folk are already booking for 2026. Property Owner

Settle down to tuck-in to long, lazy dinners at the dining table for four, or if the weather is nice, why not make dinner an alfresco affair out on the private patio that adjoins the enclosed lawn garden?
Retire to the plush sofa for an evening of entertainment, courtesy of the Smart TV with DVD player, as you bask in the glow of the electric stove.
As your eyes start to grow heavy, climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will discover two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a twin, both served by a beautiful bathroom, ready to welcome you with indulgent soaks and refreshing showers.
