Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
really spacious, quiet bungalow
Lovely spacious property, inside and out. Garden would be lovely at warmer time of year. Well equipped with tv, wifi washing machine, dishwasher etc etc. Property well suited to families or those with dogs. In a quiet location, but ideal for the village, coastal walks, park etc
