GUEST REVIEW

“This house is AMAZING. We had a party of loads of adults and a couple of children and a baby. Perfect location - right in the centre of town and only a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous and well kept park with amenities for the kids and the castle. The dining room fit all of us and the rooms had comfy beds and lots of space for people to relax. Plenty of space in the fridge and we LOVED the touches that Annie did - bottle of wine, milk, juice and flowers! Couldn't fault this place - perfect!” Rebecca August 2018
