The main plus for me was how comfortable the bed was in the main bedroom.
The main plus for me was how comfortable the bed was in the main bedroom. I managed to sleep like a log all week and felt well rested. The views from the sitting room were amazing. The property was very quirky and it was fun opening each door to find out what was behind it. It was really well equipped, more like a personal holiday home than your average holiday home. The owner was really helpful and friendly. We would go back again and would recommend this property.
