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.

This will definitely be on my list of must stays when in the area again, and will recommend to everyone. Lovely and clean also. We didn't use the fire but was lovely and warm with the heaters going. Beds were extremely comfortable also.
