    “The property was lovely and had everything we needed.”

    It was so warm and cosy and in a lovely secluded location. The pool was great and also warm, so comfortable for winter use. The owners added extra touches such as a beautiful Christmas tree and a lovely cake. We will definitely return, maybe a summer visit would be nice so we can sit in the lovely garden and enjoy the views. Thank you for everything. I loved it so much I wanted to stay.
