From the welcome basket, to the idyllic location & standard of property, this has been the perfect break - even the weather was wonderful. A petrol station/small shop & at least 3 excellent pubs/restaurants are within a short distance with larger supermarkets within 15 minutes away (at Bicton & Welshpool) were an added plus. The only negative thing was that the directions to the property were not wholly accurate, particularly in the unmarked lanes leading to Haimwood Byetake; the property would benefit from being clearly signposted at the entrance to the final lane in, as SatNav doesnât take you anywhere near the property.
