Review:

The accommodation was perfect. It was spotlessly clean, everything was modern and in good working order. Dishwasher and microwave provided also. Beautifully warm also. Surroundings wonderful - beautiful hillside views all around.

 
Specifically Recommend: We were on a walking holiday and we can recommend all the local walks. Some are very hard work but great rewards when you get to the top !!
Be Aware: It is quite difficult to find supermarkets at first as we are used to so many more down South!! They tend to be tucked away and take a while to discover.
Could Provide: Directions to the local supermarket would have helped us at first.

Sum It Up: The holiday was fantastic - we were so lucky with great weather also.
