A lovely property, easy to find, comfortable to live in. Nice hot tub, though maybe a bit closer to next-door than we'd like.

Whilst the accommodation was adequate for a three night stay I would not recommend for any longer. The hot tub was lovely but you need to bring your own towels and there are no bath robes.
