I’m a travel journalist and have stayed in lots of lovely places but Alison’s house was one of the very best. She had thought of everything, from gin and champagne glasses, a picnic blanket and beach towels, to barbecue coals and a welcome hamper with fresh scones and cream, local apple juice and a lovely rose. There were lots of lovely touches such as stylish candles, fairy lights strewn across the garden, beautiful bed linen and cushions galore. The location was superb with lovely watery views over Dell Quay and the Crown and Anchor pub serving local crab burgers etc. We will be back.
