Sarah and Rob were so welcoming, so lovely and so accommodating. The loft was so warm and cosy, with all we could have wanted and needed. We will absolutely be staying here again! Couldn't recommend it more if we tried!

The only changes I would recommend would be a different sofa as we found it slightly uncomfortable and to add a colander to the already very well stocked kitchen. One problem we had was some of the local roads were a bit tight and bumpy but thats not the hosts fault. We would definitely stay here again. P.S the scones were delicious.

Very well maintained clean and cozy. If your looking for break to chill in the country side with a hot tub. This is perfect. It's the small things that I loved. It was our Mini honeymoon and they brought us a card, flowers and prosecco. Also there was homemade scones with jam in a little glass jar and cream. We also had tea, Coffee, sugar and milk ready for us. There was black bags, dish soap and hand soap. Everything that you need is there. The best stay we've ever had and we will be returning. Thankyou Sarah and Rob for being the best hosts it means so much.
