So far the best self catering accommodation that I've ever stayed in. When we went into the flat, it was very well laid out and well furnished to the extent of being posh. The kitchen was the best equipped that we've ever seen. Not only with all the utensils, but other stuff like bin bags, foil, etc. The best was the provision of basics like coffeeRead more, milk, etc. The crowning glory was the prosecco and scones with homemade jam. Staying there felt like being at home! Hide
