Perfect for an autumn long weekend. Weather was fantastic which helped. Loved the layout and big windows. Some internal features could do with upgrading I.e downstairs rug, chairs and housekeeping could be improved I.e oven not clean and had to clean upstairs shower when we arrived etc but overall a great holiday property. Underfloor heating was a winner - really comfortable ##### Julie R.
