Again, it is still a lovely holiday let, run very well by nice people, in a lovely location, away from amenities, which is what we want.

Perfect set up with lovely light and everything works well. Fabulous ideas provided for children (swing, basket ball hoop, pig to feed etc!) with thoughtful supplies such as tin foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets. My only request would be the offering of feather pillows.
