Snug and comfy 2 nights stay for us and 1 child. The property was super clean with all the trimmings provided, bathroom was amazing and double glazed windows helped the -1 degree cold away. The only input I would give is to add some clothes hangers behind the bathroom door. Thank you Megan and Phil!!
