Helen
Honestly, the best holiday rental we have ever had. I have never paid so much for a holiday in the UK before but believe me, it was worth every single penny. An amazing conversion with everything to the highest spec, spotlessly clean, fabulous welcome basket - honestly, as a family we wanted for nothing. If you are looking for the freedom of a self catering holiday whilst being spoilt by your surroundings, this is the place for you.

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed as a family. Superb property. Immaculately presented . Ideal space for 6 adults including accessible showers and ground floor bedrooms. Pleasant outdoor space and very well equipped. Only one concern is that parking for two cars could be a little tight but this should not distract from staying in a wonderful property.
