Great value for money property, located very close to Bright
The property was exactly as per advertised, clean and equipped with everything needed for our stay. The neighbourhood was quiet, and the location was convenient enough to get to Bright with a short drive. The house was also very family friendly with lots of toys and board games which we made the most of. Great place and I’d recommend to others visiting the area.
