The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with an electric cooker, fridge-freezer, microwave, and all the utensils you’ll need for an easy, carefree stay.
The peaceful bedroom adjoins the lounge and can be arranged with either twin beds or a luxurious super-king—simply let us know your preference in the Special Requirements section when booking. From the bedroom, sliding patio doors open onto a delightful private patio and garden area, ideal for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day.
An en-suite bathroom with shower cubicle, wash basin, and WC completes this cosy retreat.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 July 2023
Hi Peter thank you for the nice review, yes we agree the bathroom needs modernising so much so that I started some jobs on it yesterday! We have been so busy we have hardly had chance to get in there! Any suggestions on how we can improve the facilities are more than welcome.
