Joanne
Such beautiful accommodation and location. Sara was a perfect host and provided everything that was needed even going above and beyond to help me organise a birthday surprise for my husband. I would highly recommend this property and its hosts to anyone looking for a relaxing, rural, romantic get away. A lovely touch was the welcome cake, eggs from the local âgirlsâ, and local dairy milk plus the log fire and hot tub all made for a perfect break.
