The parking was easy with spaces either in front of the house or within 100 yards or so. The log burner was a plus as it got cold during our stay.

Very clean and lovely welcome pack provided. Kitchen small but has everything you need. Beds lovely and comfortable. Lots of personnel touches which makes it feel very homely. Something I would put in the instruction book is who is responsible for removing the recycling and also if it is expected to strip the beds Thank you for a brilliant week
