Sheila
Four of us were very comfortable but I think it would be tight for six people as the double bedrooms were very small. Could also do with a microwave as others have mentioned. Also no proper direction about recycling was disappointing . However we had a really wonderful stay here, lovely and quiet in the little road. Very much appreciated the kind gestures of a hamper with some goodies and fizz and little Christmas tree with lights in the window! Thank you,

Easy to access with an adjacent parking space. Comfortable beds, although the two double rooms were very small. Well equipped kitchen except for not having a microwave (there was one in the car port so think it may have recently broken). Quite small living area and eating space for 6 people. It would be more suitable as a property for four people. Our main problem was the lack of information provided - no house folder or any instructions about recycling, WiFi etc. Also, not enough toilet rolls!
