Offers the full package for a restful stay with lots on offer within a short distance :)
The condition of the house, the location, the charm, the countryside, and it's proximity to lovely coastal spots. More tea towels please. One isn't quite enough.

Beautiful home in lovely, quiet village
The garden is amazing for exploring and the property has been beautifully renovated. It was also one of the cleanest houses we have stayed in, whilst the welcome pack was hugely appreciated - thank you for an amazing stay and we hope to come back! These are only minor, but a nicer outdoor seating/eating area would be a welcome addition, as would provision of some equipment for small children (high chair etc)
