The accommodation was spotlessly clean. Everything you could need had been thought of and provided. Beds were comfy and the home was lovely and cool. The owners were lovely and welcoming. A delicious cream tea greeted us on arrival, thank you, it was lovely! An ‘even better if’ would have been an information folder detailing emergency contacts such as emergency vets and perhaps some recommendations of places to visit or eat. Really enjoyed our stay!
