We enjoyed the outdoor space and the really well equipped kitchen.

We managed to depress the switch and that sorted it. But we shouldnât have to do that. That bathroom was also incredibly cold. The radiator didnât seem to work. There are only 6 mugs that are usable, forcing us to use the dishwasher to much. There should be a few more mugs in a house that sleeps potentially 7. But other than that we had a really good trip. The garden is perfect.

Located towards the lower part of the town, it was possible to avoid many of the steep hills and the walk to and from the seafront was a pleasant five minute stroll. There were many amenities within two or three minutes walk including Two Restaurants, Fish and Chip take away (highly recommended), Mill Shop, Micro Brewery, Gallery and Local Pub. The property had very generous accommodation and had all the facilities required. The welcome pack was a particularly nice touch on arrival. The rear garden overlooks the River Lym which gurgles cheerfully along accompanied by birdsong from the backdrop of trees which make the garden such a pleasant place to take breakfast or simply relax with a book. If the weather wasn't great, the small sun-room was an equally pleasant room in which to unwind. All in all, a super house in a great location. Thoroughly recommended.
