Yes the lane is a bit bumpy, and there are steps to the house, but once you are in the house....oh my goodness, it was beautiful. So light and bright, the views out of the lounge were to die for, and facing west so you had a sunset every night for free! Then the bat's came out, we didn't want to go to bed. But the bed was sooooo comfy, slept very well. Who ever cleans needs a pay rise..every where was spotless, and the whole house smelt lovely when we walked in. Everything you could need is there, even a boost to the heating when you needed it. Can't recommend this property enough, if you don't go you will be missing out, it was gorgeous. If it comes up for rent again next year we will be there. Thank you so much for letting us share your house, you have an amazing home. As you can probably tell we loved it. X
