Summary: The house is very comfortable. The owners have been very thoughtful in what they have provided. There's a particularly well equipped kitchen if you want to cook, but also an excellent restaurant a few doors down, and a coffee shop across the road. No need for a Tesco order - the local PO had everything we needed - especially impressed by their fresh fruit and veg. It was lovely having direct access to the woods from the garden. We filled the bird feeders and they were a source of entertainment all day long. If you have a family member with mobility problems, this house is ideal - ramp, wet room etc etc. Highly recommended.
