A beautiful property that was perfect for our needs attending a local athletics event. Having access to the garden was a lovely bonus and it was closed to shops and several public transport connections. The only thing we were missing was some kind of coffee maker, spare sheets for the sofa bed and a sharp knife or wo for cooking. The little welcome notes were lovely too. Thanks so much.
