We enjoyed our stay at the Old Bank house
We had an enjoyable stay at the Old Bank house. Very comfortable house, super clean, furnished and equipped to a high standard. Ben was an excellent host, communications were easy. Plenty of things to visit and good places to eat/have a drink in easy reach from the house. We hope to be back soon.
