Family break
Provided comfortable surroundings for a family of 4 and a baby.
Plenty of parking space and close to town.
Had thought the garden was enclosed for my sons dog but the side fence beside the garage was down which was a shame.

Good location well managed
Nice house, clean, great location, super parking, lovely soft towels. Management team absolutely on the ball. Unfortunately, the property lacked the kind of attention to detail I would like to give it 5 stars. I have shared these with the management company who seem to have taken it in. I would be interested to find out if they had been sorted out as quickly as the small issue we had when we were staying.
