The house in on the edge of the village, a short walk to the supermarket and very quiet. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The lockbox code worked without a problem and we entered the house to find the heating already switched on for our arrival and a very thoughtful and generous welcome pack. We chose the bedroom without the en-suite as there was a little more space. The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. The whole house was squeaky clean. Sylvia was available by phone and email during our stay to answer any questions we had. There are a few rough edges in the kitchen but the positives far outweigh any minor negatives. Highly Recommended.
