The house is set up beautifully inside, clean with all the kitchen equipment we needed, and plenty of space. The two double bedrooms upstairs were particulary comfy and spacious. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. In a quite village with a pub a stones through away. Yvette the owner was helpful and communication was good.
