Such a lovely place, it certainly has the Wow factor! The house was very well, and thoughtfully, equipped. The beds and sofas were very comfortable. We enjoyed the juke box, the hot tub was great, and the sun trapped top patio was stunning. The location was excellent for exploring many local places, plus there were good walks from the door.
