Lovely house with everything you need perfect for non pensioners.

Really lovely period property with a quirky decor. New kitchen and bathrooms that had all you need. Only issues we had were with the steps to the property as they are a bit steep and uneven for those with knee issues and my parents are in their 70's. The parking at the back is also very difficult especially trying to turn around in a very tight space. It was a long walk down or up very long hills to town which an older perosn would struggle so easier to drive. Great for myself and I would say recommend for under pension age adults.

Wonderful time

We had a great time, only scored low on communication because my stay lost its link with Vrbo and this caused me a bit of hassle and stress. Lovely property with everything you need.
