We really loved staying here. The layout of the home with the sheltered private secure courtyard appealed as soon as we set foot through the gate. It is spacious and nicely furnished. Julie Anne kindly made another bed up in the sunroom which meant we all had our own sleeping space. This was her thoughtful suggestion. There were thoughtful touches in every room. Home made marmalade, chocolate brownies, plenty of towels etc... this place felt very homely. Julie Anne generously allowed us an earlier check in also which we very much appreciated. The city is close by and the house easy to find. There is a washing machine but no dryer which made getting things dry at this time of the year, a little challenging, however there are lines in the garage. Heating is via a powerful heat pump in the kitchen. There is also a little fan heater in the bathroom. Being able to bring our little dogs was the icing on the cake.
