Kelley Taylor
A great little holiday house with everything you need. Comfortable living spaces, functional kitchen and good beds/bedding. A perfect base for exploring the area in summer-on foot or on bikes. I would caution younger or older guests when using the stairs - they should be negotiated with care as each step has quite a small tread. NB We didn’t use the downstairs bedrooms or bathroom.
Nic Kelly
