It has everything you might need for a comfortable country holiday. Lots of parking, a big well equipped kitchen and several downstairs rooms. The bedrooms were comfortable and very clean. The broadband is more than fast enough for a family that likes to remain connected. The views are all tremendous with lots of nature to see an the big hot tub is perfect.. If you want to get away from it all then book this house. If its available the days you want it then book it .. Take walking boots and seasonally appropriate coats for the walks all around.. Take your binoculars if you have them to watch the Red Kites.
