It had all the facilities required for a short break, we found it a bit chilly even though we stayed in May and needed to turn on some of the heaters, so not sure how comfortable it would be later in the year.

Very cosy beds, a generous kitchen. And a comfortable lounge. Good selection of birds come into garden. It is within easy walking range of eating places, bars and the shops as well as a bus stop and the train station. This holiday home is also excellent for dog owners. Excellent. I have stayed here for 3 straight years and I will be back. And this holiday home is in short range of lovely countryside, plenty of fine walks and quality wildlife. Also a high standard Golf Course just minutes away.
