This is an excellent place nice and clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Me and my lads were working in the area and the job went over so we had to stop for couple of extra nights. We booked this place with very little notice and Rachel rang me and said she would send the cleaners straight around to clean it before we got there and it was spotless. Bottles of water and milk in the fridge for us. Little bottles of shampoo in the absolutely unreal shower. This place is really a 11/10 stay for me and my lads. Thanks again

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.
