The main problem we had was the shower. Unless run at a dribble it scalds you. Being there with a plumber it was clear itâs an easy fix. Either replace the shower, not that expensive in this instance, or replace the thermostatic cartridge - slightly more expensive. The general plumbing was very noisy when we or neighbours ran water. There is an unusual mix of cooking utensils with only really a tray to use in the oven and a collection of large plastic bowls for the microwave. The saucepans were lovely, though and plenty of cups and other crockery. The bed and settee were really comfy and thereâs an extra heater if needed. Overall a great holiday but the shower really needs to be addressed urgently. We would recommend and definitely stay again if this was sorted. Lovely location and great to see the hens and sheep so close up.

Once again we were not disappointed. There is always a nice bottle of wine, chocolates and Darrens own free range eggs to welcome you. Nothing is too much trouble. The studio is clean with everything you need and a comfy bed. Fantastic o.

A very comfy property, within easy walk of a really nice pub. Shops a short drive away. I really enjoyed my stay and cannot recommend highly enough.
