Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

My four-night stay was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, Melissa greeted me with warmth, kindness, and unwavering support. I wholeheartedly recommend this place, especially for those travelling from outside the UK; you'll instantly feel at home. The room is beautifully adorned with thoughtful details that invite you to savour and appreciate. The charming back garden adds to the ambience, and the breakfast was delightful. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Melissa for everything and wish her all the best in life. Keep shining; you are a true inspiration.
