the kitchen, fridge was switched off and FILTHY all black stuff everywhere, all in the door trays and shelves, the odd cutlery your left with was sticky, finger prints all over, the microwave was dirty inside.
The bedroom...cobwebbs everywhere every corner, hanging off all the wooden beams, in the bathroom. The flat wooded headboard on the bed was THICK with dust and hairs.

Not only us the price very reasonable, especially as I bring my dog and there's often a big surcharge, but the place is so comfortable, clean, warm, bright and just so lovely. The kitchen has everything you need not just for a short stay, but for entertaining too. |The living area is great, the bathroom is really nice (even to wash the dog!). The Master double bedroom is enormous, and I set myself up as my office (the gigabyte internet is amazing). |Outside is a small patio and garden, but the dog was allowed to run around on the lawn next to the barb too .||Most of all, the couple who run the place are so nice, Lucy couldn't be more helpful, and Eric always helps out if he can, even walking my dog because of my physical health.||They are your best friends, and couldn't do more to help you out. ||My best wishes to Lucy and Eric, and please book and enjoy your stay at this...
