This was a very comfortable house - although the lack of carpets and rugs made it noisy for our family of 5. The location was superb as was the garden, and the large number of rooms made it easy to find space for different pursuits such as the jigsaw, games room, working, etc.

Great house in a super spot. Lots of room for all the family. Only slight drawback is the darkness of dining room

And we were able to retrieve which was a great oRead moreutcome. Hide
