What a lovely house to stay with our children & friends in for our wedding. Rooms were spacious, especially kitchen/living/dining and conservatory. It had everything you could need and more. Added bonus of a laundry if you would need one. Lovely deck space with bbq and fantastic lawn area out back if needed for the doggos.The hosts were absolutely amazing, so fast in communication and attending to my questions etc. Couldn't recommend enough and would definitely stay again!
