Well equipped and comfortable; we would like to return at some point in the future. We did have a hot water problem during one morning of our stay but that was swiftly dealt with by the owners. Highly recommended.

Village had two very welcoming pubs and shop and lots of great places to eat further afield. House was great, everything we needed but if I was to be picky the TV (only one) wasn't set up to be able to watch normal channels and the fire and heating were turned off which on one day we could have done with.
