The comfortable and neutrally decorated sitting room opens up onto a quiet private outdoor patio and a west facing sun trap garden oasis with plenty of garden furniture for guests to enjoy.

Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Staying in Box. Not as big as photos. Felt a bit underwhelmed with the property. Tv very small couldn’t see it from the sofa. No dish cloths, 1 dishwasher tablet. Couldn’t find an umbrella for the garden. Had trouble finding the property, not well signposted. ##### Rosemary H.
