Great house

Everything was great however having a log burner only for heating, it would have been much easier if there was kindling provided. We had only 3 firelighters so a bit challenging.

Exceptional Experience

Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The house is spacious, warm, comfortable and very well equipped. It was perfect for our 3 generations, including 2 children, 2 and 5. The many toys & books were a godsend on the one drizzly day - as was the amazing wood burner. We all had a fabulous holiday. Thank you!

Great spot

Easy 10 min walk to town, never stayed on that side of town but lovely and quiet. House is perfect for 2 families with kids. Plenty warm and dry and comfortable. Nowhere to lock up bikes so make sure you bring a long chain to lock them together! We had a great weekend.

Family Times

we were very pleased with our stay, plenty of room for us all and some extra visitors for dinner. Close to the town centre. Quiet and very well equipped. We brought our own towels and sheets. It ws good to have some Childrens toys and books as our grandchildren had flown in from up north. Overall stay we were very pleased. Would we book again at this house? Simple answer is yes.

Great value for money

This house was exceptionally clean! Very impressed with a well equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for everyone, very spacious rooms. Plenty of games and toys for the kids. Not quite in the centre of town, but still walking distance.Only down side which I found quite annoying was the automatic bathroom fans, you only needed to walk past and they would stay on for a good 10 mins.. the vibrating sound got quite annoying!And my only suggestion would be some more outdoor seating
