Lovely spacious bungalow, clean and well presented. The home had everything you could think of for wet days and sunny. The kitchen was well quipped and the welcome tray was much appreciated as we had forgotten to bring milk. Beds were really comfortable and linen of good quality. Location was great for exploring the area and easy roads to access the main roads . Our dogs appreciated the generous garden for lounging and playing.
