The picture of this property speaks volumes and sells it comprehensively. A high end property in a stunning location with a sensible price for your stay. Its on private gated land which really adds to the special feel the place has. It is instantly a "Home from Home". The inside is faultless, an amazing kitchen full of everything you need. Cosy froRead morent room. Multi-channel TV. The lovely bedroom leads to a very nice bathroom, shower, wc. The whole place is very welcoming, this includes the owners who are very customer focused and lovely people. Would we stay again? - you bet we would!! We are missing it already!! Hide
