"We were a group of 8 and found the amenities in the house of a high standard. Really appreciated the little touches like shower gel in each shower, the wood already to light the fire if needed. The house was very clean and tidy and I am sure we will book it again in the future. Appreciated being in town but it didn't seem as if we were as a very quiet street."
