Couldn’t fault this place it was lovely.

Couldn’t fault this place it was lovely. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s spacious, well equipped and well located. The views were amazing and the under floor heating was welcomed during the storm. It started our Christmas perfectly and the 6 of us have said we would love to return. It is a hidden gem! we we stayed 6th-9th Dec 2024
