Everything we wanted/needed

Well almost- a little less rain would have been nice. But it was a perfect place to spend a couple of chilly wet days cosied up watching a few movies. I’m sure there were lots of lovely walks nearby but we really needed rest and relaxation. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom beautifully designed, hideaway laundry a bonus, kitchen perfect in every way and the living area with two sofas was great for movie watching. Every time I thought ‘I wonder if there is a ….’ I looked and there it was. My husband is not very mobile and it was an excellent stay for him. Lovely hosts too!
