Helen
I loved all the lamps and all the touches that were in the house which showed that the owners really thought about how they presented their property. It really made a difference having owners who were instantly available to fix any problems. I appreciated that. I have already booked for next year. Thanks to Fiona and Jonathan.

Clean and tidy but had some lovely personal touches which made it feel like a much loved home and not a generic property. Owner was very helpful and approachable but we did not have any problems. All went very smoothly. Would love to return.
