A really lovely, well laid out holiday home to stay in for a few days. Can tell it is very new, there is no wear to any aspect. Very well equipped with a full kitchen and utensils. Comfy living space with new smart tv and good sized sofa. Farm/rural location so have to be careful in car when driving up lanes. Would stay again if in the area!
