Secure patio area and doggy paddock for dog and plenty of hot water and heating to look forward to when you get back. Walks from the doorstep so did the walks suggested and mapped out in the guest folder. Superb welcoming basket and milk on arrival and Linda and Roger were the perfect hosts with any queries. Accommodation was first class, beds were large and very comfortable so early nights beckoned!! Lay in bed, watch the stars and listen to tawny owls right outside, then get up early to listen to the deer. Counted 14 different birds in the garden but favourites were the Goldfinches and Bullfinches in the teasel!! Just what we came for !! Thank you.

). Nice hot towel rails. Central 'island' very convenient. Both induction cooking and microwave very easy to use. (Some microwaves too complex; this one just right). Had to be careful accessing the book shelf.
