Spotlessly clean and everything provided for a brilliant stay. The owners live next door and were very welcoming. They introduced themselves on arrival, offered any advice we needed then left us to enjoy a perfect weeks break.

My husband and I spent a couple of very uncomfortable nights because the bed is simply not big enough for 2 adults.
