Wonderful house. Spread over 3 floors its ideal for families with grandparents who can use the bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The newly fitted kitchen is a dream. The brand new crockery and cutlery is an added bonus. Comfortable lounge with new sofas is perfect to sit in in the evening if it’s too chilly to sit out on the decking or the upper decking . Really is the perfect family house for a holiday. 3 bathrooms all with showers and a bath in the family bathroom is ideal for bathing children. I would say this house is perfect and I can’t think of anything that it needs to be improved
