It is very well equipped, spacious and very comfortable and as people have said in previous reviews, the views from the property are stunning. The owners provided a lot of basics eg tea, coffee etc and a welcome pack of milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine, which were all much appreciated. The owners, Helen and Ian, from the farm, are very friendly but the property is not overlooked by the farm house. We did lots of walking in the nearby area, some walks from our doorstep. The road up to the farm is quite steep but manageable. If you want to go out a lot in the evenings, the road maybe an issue but if you are happy to stay in and cook for yourselves, the location of this property is fantastic.
