Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment.
Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. Very generous welcome pack. Quiet location with secure parking area but only 10 minutes walk away from main shopping area. Plenty of places to eat and drink on main street. One of the best holiday cottages we have ever been in. Would definitely recommend.
