    “We were very pleased to make this very last minute booking after another reservation (different company) had to be cancelled due to a maintainance problem.”

    We were really happy with the property which suited us quite well. The only issue was that the downstairs double bedroom had a bathroom with a shower over the bath - my parents, who are elderly, cannot get into this type of shower anymore. This is a shame really as the downstairs bedrooms otherwise make the property very accessible (we didn't find the step up into the property, mentioned on the listing, a problem at all).

    We were really happy with the property which suited us quite well. The only issue was that the downstairs double bedroom had a bathroom with a shower over the bath - my parents, who are elderly, cannot get into this type of shower anymore. This is a shame really as the downstairs bedrooms otherwise make the property very accessible (we didn't find the step up into the property, mentioned on the listing, a problem at all). We resolved the shower issue by them using the shower in the bathroom of the downstairs single bedroom. The open plan living space was excellent - ideal for a large family holiday. The radiator in the main bedroom couldn't be turned down - we had to resort to opening the window, despite the sub-zero temperatures, as it was too hot to sleep!
