A very well equipped property with some nice touches decorating/furnishings, had everything we needed. In a great location with a cracking local pub for food and drink very close by. Loved our evenings in the cosy lounge with the log burner (a generous supply of wood compared to many properties we have stayed in). We didn't make use of the garden due to the time of year but imagine it would be great during the summer months. Bed's/mattresses not the comfiest for us but obviously that is our personal taste/preference. We would definitely stay again if we decide to come back to this area.

We appreciated all its high standards with the obvious aim that visitors should be warm and comfortable and well provided for and along with the thoughtful attention to detail it was a property that we would happily recommend.
