Very well equipped with just about everything you could want. Wine and biscuits much appreciated. One thing for future guests to bear in mind is that the courtyard area at the rear is a bit of a challenge if you have 2 cars!

My daughters suggested vacuuming under beds (downstairs) and a mirror (fixed or freestanding) upstairs (single room). Three out of four pillows in upstairs double need replacing - shape and cleanliness (latter evident when stripping beds for departure). Stain on single mattress (upstairs). Property would benefit from additional hard flooring downstairs - hallway and lounge areas. Beautiful views and walks from property. Warm and snug with oil fired central heating and wood burner and plenty of hot water. We enjoyed watching the many birds at the feeders each day Thank you Martin and Wendy.
