Wonderful Christmas holiday stay

A wonderful stay at this lovely house over the Christmas period with the family. House is fantastic, with plenty of space, a great secluded and private location and super well equipped for a comfortable stay. Hosts Jim and Susan were very welcoming and helpful and always available if there were any questions. All things considered, a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend to others. Hope to visit again one day.
