Fantastic bed.. so comfortable. There was everything there that you could need and the owners are so accommodating. Our dog loved being able to go out into the enclosed garden and was mesmerised by the black sheep on the adjoining field. Itâs so quiet and comfortable. Itâs a real gem

Only a little niggle, settee not too comfortable after a while especially with a larger husband. Maybe a foot stool would be a useful addition. A few more knives forks and spoons so you dont have to use the dishwasher so often or wash up.
