Lovely accommodation, everything needed for self catering. very comfortable beds for good nights sleep. Peaceful views over the meadows where horses grazed. Quiet location. Country walks.The owners son could not have been more thoughtful and helpful.Although stay was in late October weather was good, it was lovely to still have breakfast/coffee on the balcony at this time of year. Will look forward to visiting again.

This was our second visit to the property and overall we might go again however there were some issues with the equipment that let the property down. We were surprised to find there was no iron, ironing board or hairdryer at the property and a vacuum cleaner would’ve been helpful. The duvets and covers on the single beds were thin and uncomfortable and should be replaced. Two hand towels and four bath towels did no seem enough for four people. On the plus side the availability of a charger for our electric car was a very welcome feature although the mechanism for payment was not clear until we were able to speak to the owner.
