The fridge and freezer are old and perhaps need replacing but do the job adequately. Beds are really comfortable. We used the small summerhouse for two early morning listening to the many birds singing their hearts out!

Two minor complaints. We felt the mattresses were a bit tired and need replacing to ensure a good nights sleep. We were a family of six and did not feel the crockery and cutlery was sufficient. All other equipment in the kitchen was excellent. There is an unpleasant smell in the utility room. Otherwise a beautiful property and we loved staying there.

We had everything we needed and the complimentary basket of food was a bonus. I would definitely return and the Village was full of friendly people.
