The property was well maintained, clean and comfortable with everything you need plus some extras, tea, coffee, sugar and milk with some lovely shortbread biscuits which was a lovely touch. Lots of seating in the enclosed garden.

The property was tastefully decorated, uncluttered so it felt clean and inviting. We had everything we needed for a short break. Towels and bedding were lovely and good quality.
