North Devon break
A quaint property that was accurately listed, the steps up to the property aren’t easy as they are different heights and would definitely benefit from a handrail at the bottom, Ideal for a couple that want to sightsee by car the surrounding areas.

Prima huis, heel goed uitgerust en schoon.Fijn dat er basisartikelen voorradig zijn.Omgeving is prachtig. Wat we ons niet goed hadden gerealiseerd is dat de huis aan een smalle en drukke weg ligt waardoor het niet mogelijk is om vanuit huis een wandeling te maken en of de hond uit te laten.
