Fabulous place to stay, spotlessly clean, lots of little extras like fresh eggs & milk, salt & pepper, tea & coffee, herbs & spices, it had everything we needed and then some. Communication with Claire was great, always super fast responses to my questions. It was an absolute pleasure staying here, would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.
