The bungalow was pleasant to holiday in. The kitchen was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the underfloor heating worked well. We enjoyed the view of the house and garden opposite on the other side of the stream. Although a car is useful there is a bus stop nearby. Whilst being well suited for able bodied people the Read morebungalow presented difficulties in the bathroom and the steps at the front and rear for me. Hide
