Nice and clean tidy property. Thought it was abit strange that they have sky but only numerous sky sports channels. Not everybody enjoys sport watching. You might say we are on holiday why are we watching tv?? Its because the weather was atrocious. Otherwise friendly, clean, super close to town and enjoyed our stay.
