Very spacious and stylish house and it is much better than the photos. The deck area looks out onto a beautiful garden area. The owner was very kind & helpful. I had made a booking mistake which he kindly managed for us, and he also helped my husband fix his flat bike tire. We slept well in the comfy beds with good bedding & a nice selection of pillows. Its a lovely peaceful area and close to the very good cycle paths.
