Would highly recommend. Only 2 comments - would be helpful to have a folder with info about what to do with the rubbish, sheets, how to control the heating and wood burner etc. Also the dining room chairs are very uncomfortable and 2 or 3 were bent/broken. Everything else was perfect - thank you so much. Will return!

My family and I met up from the East and the West of the country for a weekend of hikes and adventures and this property served us perfectly. Stylishly decor and well facilitated, and the ability to park for free in the pub carpark was massively helpful in this little village. A lovely little courtyard to the rear was all we needed for outdoor space. Upon reflection the families only little suggestions would be to provide some tongs to turn/remove food on the grill and to also give the sofaâs a good bash outside as the cushions etc seemed dusty (it was either this or an air freshener sadly affected allergies for 3 of us) this is something i have already mentioned to the wonderful host. Thankyou for providing your home for us to stay in.

Located on the main road opposite the general store and near the bakers, so a prime location. The added addition of off-road parking just down the road and close to the property. Everything clean and as expected and a pleasure to stay in. Lovely property.
