The property was just like a home from home, cosy and comfy. Jo and Eric were great nothing was to much trouble, fantastic as a base for travelling and the Commando memorial is two minute walk away. On days that We stayed in We just read a book or watched birds in the garden, We would return as We really enjoyed the piece and quiet. You don't need to take anything only clothes and camera everything you need is there. Thank you Jo and Eric for a lovely stay.

The property is very well equipped and the swings in the garden were very much enjoyed by our children, even in the rain. The owners were extremely helpful and informative. Hopefully they will read this so we can pass on our thanks for a lovely stay as we left early and did not want to disturb them.
