A well equipped and comfortable property with every need carefully provided.
A well equipped and comfortable property with every need carefully provided. The welcoming pack was excellent as were the provisions for our dog who came with us. The property is remote but the local village is just a few minutes drive away, just suited us to perfection. We had a few days that were very frosty and cold outside but the central heating kept every room inside warm and cosy. An ideal family holiday home.
