We enjoyed a very good week at Holly Bank. The bungalow is spacious, well maintained and spotlessly clean; the location is delightful and the grounds are beautiful. Communication with the owner was very good and her suggestion for Sunday Lunch, The Brigands, was excellent. With so many of us using SatNav I would like to see the directions to all cRead moreottages include the map reference / what3words to make life easier especially in more remote areas where postcodes con cover large areas. Minimal downsides but there were no instruction leaflets for any of the appliances / heating; no broom/mop (not all of us can get down on the floor with dustpan and brush) and departure by 9:30 is somewhat unrealistic for a family of up to eight persons.
