We had everything we needed and more. For a single bed it was really comfortable, the shower was fantastic, hot and powerful, the kitchen had everything you would need and the log burner came with fire lighters kindle and logs! The village and surrounding fields made for beautiful walks and the pub just down the road was fantastic! Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful stay.

Central to our requirements with off road parking. Quiet location but issues with mobile phone signal with our provider. Highly likely that we will use again
