Great spot… nice and quiet
Booked this lovely home for my 40th weekend away. It’s in a nice quiet location, the rooms are lovely and the kitchen gorgeous. Great size pool however lots of bugs in the water and spiders so didn’t spend too much time in it. Appreciate it’s been quite wet leading up to our stay. Cute neighbours dog came for a visit to say hi, make sure to say hi to him his name is Sam.
