Slightly unusual, lots of space, very quiet and comfortable, beautifully furnished in an eclectic way with some retro items which took me back to my childhood! I could go on but there is too many wonderful things to mention. The garden was heaven for both humans and dogs, and when the cows weren't in the paddock beyond the garden the dogs had a lovely mooch there too. Ideal because my old dog could just potter and the younger one could race around. While the owners live next door they were unobtrusive, though very helpful if needed. Thank you for a wonderful week.
