House was worth the money and in a great spot
Perhaps the best holiday rental we’ve ever been lucky enough to make use of
We absolutely loved the property. Spacious, beautiful views, super well appointed (couches through to cutlery- everything so well presented). It catered for our large group (6 kids and 4 adults).
Simple stroll into the village
Super clean, dead quiet
Birdlife and sea (seals and dolphins - please!)

Bancroft House was amazing! A beautiful home with lovely lake views and the best equipped holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in. Multiple outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the lovely grounds and the visiting bird life. An easy stroll to shops and eateries.The 4th bedroom with 2 single beds is small and runs off another bedroom.Front steps are steep so use lift for cases etc and the driveway is also steep which some may find challenging to walk up and down however it is worth it for the views.
