The property is compact, looks smart and is well equipped. Unfortunately, there was a very strong and persistent smell of damp, especially downstairs, which really marred the stay.
Parking is available a few minutes walk away, the local village has everything you’d need and it’s a good spot to explore the area from.

Nice cosy little house [ once we got the heating working ]
Very clean but a bit lacking in a few minor things .
There was no washing up liquid,dish cloth or tea towel provided. Kitchen equipment minimal and basic . Why were there weighing scales when there were no mixing bowls etc ? . Beds were comfortable and good bathroom with good shower . Also parking outside property not possible . Parking is nearby but a bit inconvenient if it’s chucking it down with rain !. Having said all this we had an enjoyable stay .
