Superb stay, great character.

The accommodation was amazing, for a self catering establishment, it is very well equipped, lovely island in the kitchen with oven and hob, plenty of space to eat. The lounge area was very comfortable, with big screen TV, both bedrooms had comfortable double beds, upstairs en-suite downstairs separate bathroom. Plenty of parking and for those who wish to eat out, the pub across the road has a great selection at reasonable prices.

The bungalow was fantastic, very welcoming and clean. The general decor was beautiful. My only problem was there was too much light in the bedroom. The blinds and curtains didn’t blackout the room. I don’t sleep when the room is too light. But it wouldn’t stop us booking here again. The house and our stay was truly lovely.

Fabulous

It was a lovely surprise to find out that it was as good as the photos (if not better). The only comment to note, is that the bed settee is actually in the same room as the master bedroom – fine for us, because we were family – originally though, we were going with other couple friends, and that would have been very uncomfortable. That might be my fault that I hadn’t checked it through properly, but it certainly didn’t jump out at me as obvious. My son and his girlfriend stayed on the bed settee, and found it very uncomfortable – but that’s our only negative.

Amazing relaxing stay

Amazing stay, great location and facilities. Only thing that was slow was the wifi but this was maybe due to the rural location. Would recommend.

Lovely Self Catering Bungalow.

This bungalow certainly has the Wow Factor. I stayed at the bungalow with my wife and daughter for one night only. The bungalow is superb, it is comfortable, clean and has everything you could want for a lovely holiday and more. This bungalow would give an apartment in a top class hotel a run for its money. We hope to be staying there again in the future.
