    “We found our holiday home to be clean, comfortable with well considered equipment to utilise if needed and tasteful decorative touches.”

    The enclosed gardens front and back were exactly what we wanted. As we spent most of our time outdoors. Perfect size hot tub for two, positioned to enjoy the view. The extended garden/ grounds were landscaped, well kept and enjoyable to walk round or simply sit and relax. It was peaceful and pleasant, and there was lots to see and do within the local vicinity, to the extent that a week was lovely. But there was so much more to explore.
