Lovely and convenient property. Lots of good walks. We were lucky to watch the local hunt. Host was helpful in providing the checking in information promptly. Plenty of board games, books available. Absence of mobile reception was amply compensated by good wifi.

The location is remote however clear directions were provided. The owners made the home welcoming with lots of thoughtful touches. The main parts to note were the beds were very comfortable and the shower was modern and powerful. The accommodation is larger than the photographs appear but lots of amenities. The only negative was the WiFi wasnât great however thatâs to be expected in a remote location. Overall a great stay at a reasonable price!
