David
The conversion has been done to a really high standard and the furniture and fittings are excellent. The cottage was warm, cosy, and very comfortable with every item needed for a weeks stay. We were warmly met by the owner, who lives on site, and given a tour of the property and informed of the local facilities and attractions. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and used it as abase to explore the area. Thank you Di for a great holiday.

The Dairy was very well equipped, we didn't want for anything, kitchen had everything we needed. Di made us feel right at home. Lovely views and enclosed garden which was perfect for our dog. A bit of road noise from the farm traffic but this didn't impact on our stay. Good location for trips out.
