It was impeccably clean and equipped with everything we needed to make our holiday a comfortable experience, youâd thought of everything ! We loved playing pool in the games room too. We would definitely recommend this property if youâre looking for a peaceful break with some beautiful walks right on your doorstep. There was nothing not to like

. It is a little gem tucked away in a small village which is an ideal location to visit the area. Our hosts, Jacqui and Bruce have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable, although our first visit it certainly will not be our last.
