Lots of coffee, tea and sugar already there. Liked the welcome Biscuits. Very clean and tidy. Easy to adjust heating controls. Excellent hot and cold running water. Excellent beds, bedding & towels. Somewhat limited range of pots & saucepans. Could do with bigger pots for one pot cooking !!! Cooker could do with an upgrade, though worked fine. But overall very high standard of interior A few small maintenance issues. Fx Sensor Lights for the stairs were not working & need replacing. This would be good for the winter months. ! Exterior stair landing outside entrance door pools water. Could do with drain holes. However we totally loved our stay there and will definitely come back another time. Love Chris & Helle

The shower, hot water, heating and underfloor heating in the bathroom were user-friendly, plus the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs. The secure off-road parking was much appreciated.

The loft had everything we needed for a self catering holiday, the packet of biscuits left on arrival was a lovely touch. It was in a great location for exploring the surrounding areas, some beautiful walks nearby. The place was clean and tidy, and they had thoughtfully got out the high chair and put up the travel cot for us before arrival which was very helpful. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have used and we all slept fantastically. Check in and out was easy with the key box and the message before arrival with detailed directions (so the sat nav didnât send us to the wrong place) was very useful. We would definitely return to the property again if we are visiting the area.
