    “Thank you for a wonderful stay.”

    We hope to return in future, maybe booking Two Shoes as well to visit with extra family. We have so much left to see in the area. The beds were really comfy, the shower was hot and it was a powerful hairdryer which is rare in a holiday let. The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are a great size with good storage, mirrors etc. Meadow, Dad and I were all very happy. The delicious lemon drizzle cake and dog biscuits were much appreciated. Dad said the only improvement that he could think of ...

The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are a great size with good storage, mirrors etc. Meadow, Dad and I were all very happy. The delicious lemon drizzle cake and dog biscuits were much appreciated. Dad said the only improvement that he could think of was bigger bath sheets for the shower. My only suggestion is to put some board games in the sideboard. Warm regards, Jo

    Thank you so much for your comments. I'm glad you had a lovely stay! I'm sorry you didn't find the bag of games in the sideboard, by the books: chess, draughts, backgammon, cards, dice, dominoes and a jigsaw. I will label it so it's clear what's inside. Thank you for letting me know! Property Owner
