We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very comfortable, very well equipped kitchen and throughout. We went for relaxation and enjoyed the hot tub. Sure the garden would be good to sit out in during the warmer weather. We mainly ate out during the day and cooked in the evenings as preference. Everywhere was easy to get to and it was lovely to go out via the garden and into the forest.It may be a good idea to put a sign on the bathroom door to mind the step which was unexpected.

A great find, perfect location for active people, out the back gate straight into the forest. Close to cycle paths. Every kitchen amenity you could imagine, dog friendly. Dog treats blankets and a small bed provided.Helpful host , comfy beds, handy parking . On a main rd but you can’t hear it with the double glazing shut. Amazing welcome basket . Hot tub up to temp when we arrived. Bigger than you might imagine. Steep stairs may not be your first choice with tiny children or disabled people . All round very nice .
