This is a perfect spot for anyone without young children, or a dog. The fact that the garden is not secure means direct access from either the front door, or the rear patio doors, to the drive. The drive leads straight on to a road so need I say more. This was not made clear on the site! Had it been clear I would not have booked. Not being able to sit in the garden with my dog , or even leave the doors open, spoilt my holiday so much that I came home a day early. Had I been on my own it would have been wonderful. Unfortunately that was not the case. Also, there needs to be a fan available for exceedingly hot weather; the forge is small so without being g able to open the windows it was unbearably stuffy

Peaceful location Beautiful quiet location, fabulous sunrises and garden and orchard area a bonus with the dog . Great parking right outside. An oven would be great so cooking a meal would be easier than with the convection microwave oven.
