Handy to town and family , the house you need large tv , chest freezer etc ,

Very handy to town , and the two local stores 2 min walk very convenient. Tere was very welcoming, the house is large and has everything you need - there is a church next door so Sunday morning starts early 4am bells and singing ( which was beautiful) . We have family near by which is why we chose here . I would stay here again
