If you’re looking for comfort, peace and quiet and the best views then this is the place for you! This place has it all, it was spotlessly clean, there was fabulous bedding with the comfiest mattresses, super soft towels and the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever come across in a rental! On site is a plunge pool which we didn’t use but we made good use of the barn area when it rained and played table tennis, table football and pool, there were also various board games as well! We saw owls and marsh harriers and spent a lot of time watching nesting birds feeding their chicks. I simply cannot recommend this place enough, it was so quiet and peaceful, just what was needed after a stressful few months.
