Great for a family holiday
We were a family of 10 including 4 children under 6 years old. The house met our needs perfectly, all being on one level with lots of space for everyone. The house was spotless when we arrived and had a very relaxed laid back atmosphere. Maddy and Richard were perfect hosts and made us feel very comfortable. Our memories will be of a relaxed holiday lots of sunshine and lots of fun with our family. Thanks Mandy and Richard

Perfect - again
We’ve stayed before, and probably will do so again. What a lovely property, and owners. We are happy that it’s a bit out of town (short drive), which adds to the feeling of tranquility.
