The kitchen is very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. There are plenty walks from the door and a handy railway path to Middleton for the local shop and a very good butchers. Thank you Doreen for the goodies, and for being so helpful and friendly, we hope to return one day and explore more of all that the area has to offer.
