The flat itself was well appointed with everything needed for a self catering stay and converted to a high standard. Mind your head on the cooker hood though! Well stocked farm shop on site and the owners Fiona and Rob are very welcoming and the source of useful information. One warning: access to the flat us via 14 steps so people with mobility issues need to consider this.

The farm shop on site was well stocked with delicious locally produced products. The owners were friendly and helpful and the location is excellent for trips out. The accommodation is well thought out with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. We feel that the steps leading to the property could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but you are made aware of the number of steps when booking.

The cooker was gas and lit by matches that were so small you burnt your fingers .The smoke alarmwent off as soon has you lit the cooker.The bathroom was very small and the bath was to big for the space, someone bigger than me would find it very difficult to use. The T.V. had it's Freeview restricted to BBC channels only. The loose rugs on a slippery floor in the bedroom constitute a serious risk of injury heightened by a low level bed.
