Summary: Accommodation is brilliant in a fantastic location really clean with a vast garden we would re-book this property again. Only disappointment was advertised as having a BBQ, Welcome Pack and Logs, BBQ was old and broken welcome Pack and Logs not there. It could also do with some garden maintenance, it could be such a lovely garden but weeds are taking over to the extent that the patio is almost hidden.the lawns were well kept though. These issues did not spoil our break but could have improved it.
