Nice secure garden. Well equipped kitchen. It would be nice to have a mirror in the bedroom and a bit more storage, for a longer stay. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming, even put the heating on, so it was warm when we arrived. We would stay here again.

Quiet and peaceful. Within easy reach of shops and services. As a base to explore locally it was ideal. There is a lot to see and do within an hours drive and close enough to for longer days out if you wish. We would probably stay again if visiting this area.
