Comfortable, spacious and well equipped house in a lovely peaceful location.We received a warm welcome from the friendly owners on arrival. Interesting places to visit in the area and some good walking trails. The kitchen was well equipped but we eat lots of vegetables and we both felt that a veg steamer would be a most useful addition. We had a lovely relaxing holiday and would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
