I couldn't recomend this property more highly. It is absolutely wonderful and filled to the brim with loving details. Robes, slippers, playing cards, a speaker for music, everything you could possibly need or want, not to mention a gorgeous garden filled with sun. The location is perfect, right by some of the only shops, the cafe, social club and pub. Walking distance to everything you need. We loved it here and will be back!
