By Fiona H on 15-Sep-2024Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location; nice, well-equipped house The location is exceptional - with a path down to the marshes from the back garden. The house is well-equipped with top of the range oven, dishwasher etc., plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils. Large garden at the back and a pleasant veranda at the front of the house. Four good sized bedrooms, only negative was the very creaky double beds. Host replied immediately to any questions and was very helpful. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024
