Me and my wife were looking for a last minute deal, and we booked this lovely house in the middle of a town with all the amenities possible yet still felt like you were remote enough to be in the middle of nowhere. The house was a really nice size and would comfortably sleep 6. Much to our surprise, and in keeping with the good english summer, it got a tad cold and the heating system worked a treat. Having 2 bathrooms and a lovely shower topped off the house. All in all a lovely, well decorated house, close to amenities and only a stones throw from a beautiful national trust crags house.
