    “The bungalow is gorgeous!”

    It felt like home and was warm and cosy. Apart from storm Isha that was noisy and scary [ felt like the roof and windows were blowing out and off ] We had a quiet relaxing stay. We had our two large dogs with us and the property was perfect for them. Plenty of room inside and out. Everything was as described and there was plenty of towels, bedding and hot water! We made use of the laundry facilities as expected in a cold wet January. We stayed a week and I didn't want to leave.
