Small issue with Heating resolved promptly. Advertised as Shower over Bath in both upstairs en-suites which did not exist. This was raised before we went and never answered. Only 1 Shower in the property. AGA not working. Told it was not switched on until the end of October. Wish we had known this before booking. Kitchen in poor condition and needs refurbishing. Damaged work top, cooker splashback, cupboard doors delaminating and cupboards could have been better cleaned. Please put in some more Mugs/Cups. Not enough for 2 people never mind if 6 people were staying. Very peaceful location and nice garden.

The en-suite shower was great! The enclosed garden was ideal for to safely venture. Open fire was great for wet June weather (not that I need excuse for real fire). Seeing the horses was a bonus. Also saw rabbits, grouse and bats. All really enjoyed the break. Definitely recommend & a great base for visiting area.

Plenty of space and a secure garden for the dogs. Very pleasant owners and staff. Situated in lovely scenic countryside with small villages and towns within easy reach. Very much enjoyed our five day stay.
