The brand-new modern kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, and Nespresso coffee machine, ensuring everything you need for a convenient self-catering holiday.

The ground floor also includes two bedrooms: one with twin single beds and a second with full-size bunk beds. A family bathroom provides a bath with overhead shower, basin, heated towel rail, and w.c.

Upstairs, the first floor features a spacious eaves bedroom with a deep king-size bed and television, plus a separate cloakroom with w.c. and basin.

Additional features include gas central heating, and a small south-facing patio area with outdoor furniture. A travel cot is also provided.
