We've been going to England for years and renting a house for a week. This one was the very best in terms of amenities. It really lacked nothing. It was also absolutely and perfectly clean. A generous welcome pack awaited us, so we didn't have to go shopping on the first evening. The only downside was that the internet frequently broke down in the Read moreevenings, which was a bit annoying when you rely on it. Perhaps something could be improved. But full recommandation.
