    Only downside was the British “summer” weather!

  • "We absolutely loved this property,immaculately presented."

    The only thing lacking was a garden area to be able to sit out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings but other than that,perfect.

    Thank you for your lovely review - it was a pleasure to have you staying here and we are glad you enjoyed it. We note the comment about the outdoor space and will think about whether we can improve that (although I don't know whether you found the lower area with seating round the back?). Thanks for leaving everything so clean and tidy! Property Owner
