Well equipped and furnished to a high standard and a lovely welcome basket on arrival. The hosts were most helpful and even towed our cars up the drive when our cars couldnât make it in the snow. They were also available to answer any questions we had. Our family have had a wonderful long weekend break here, thank you!
