Fabulous location, clean house

Wonderful 3 bedroom house in a fabulous location. Close to the river and centre of Bright. Full kitchen, modern appliances. Comfy beds ! Only thing missing it was an outdoor eating area to enjoy the balmy Bright evenings , although there were some chairs on the front and back porch to use.
