Location easy to find, reasonable parking but may be tight for a large car to turn around. Bathroom / cooker could benifit from an update.

This bungalow was really good value for money, we had a lovely and comfortable stay. On a hot week the bungalow stayed lovely and cool and the patio was lovely to sit out on and enjoy the surrounding trees. As mentioned in a number of other reviews the driveway is rather narrow and did require a 5 point turn to get out but we do have an estate car Read moreand i wouldn't let this put you off. It's location was great for a number of different day trips on the doorstep and pub a 10 stroll away Hide
