Everything you could need for a great stay. Very central to all the places we wanted to visit and a pleasure to come back to after a day exploring. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Our hosts were a lovely friendly couple and were there on hand if we needed anything. Highly recommended for a lovely break. Many thanks.

The location is perfect. Sadly, I suffered ill health whilst there but made the most of our stay locally. Being disabled I personally wished that the sofas were higher and longer, and a pull down seat in the en suite so that i could have had a shower, also non slip mats in both showers, but apart from that it is a beautiful bungalow and Alex and Kate could not be more accommodating and Reg!
