I am an experienced traveller who worked for many years in IT. I now have the duties of running the family home and our holiday home - Grevillea Cottage.

There are shops within walking distance, including major supermarkets. The local heated public pool is only 2 minutes walk away!!
What makes this property unique
This house is 106 years old with great character, lots of space to relax and a huge garden. It is close to all the things you will need for a perfect holiday!
