    The beds were comfortable (always a worry to me who has a bad back!) I was going to use the washer but in the end decided there were no jobs being done on this holiday! There is no knowing with the weather anywhere and having a washing machine if we had got wet and dirty was a reassurance! And the good weather helped, no rain till the very end of our stay! The two showers were a boon, one in the bath and one in its own cubicle - a choice to soak and shower off after - lovely! It was all quiet and comfortable and modern. Just one little drawback for me - no grab rail in the shower - tho I realise due to its construction a rail might not be feasible, but it meant I felt a bit unsteady at times, so I took extra care! xx

    It is fitted with modern appliances and is immaculately furnished. The owner is there on site to help in any way during your stay. The cleanliness is five star!

  • Peter

    The setting is lovely and peaceful but still very convenient for local amenities and attractions. We were lucky enough to see the deer on several evenings.
