A perfect get away for a relaxing peaceful stay. The cottage has been so well equipped with every comfort catered for. Was perfect for our dog with an enclosed garden.

Lovely property, lovely location, was slightly disappointed could not walk round more of the estate we booked this property as I stated 4000 acres to explore this is not the case the allowed walks are very short. Cleaning is much to be desired cob webs everywhere, dog biscuits and crumbs all under the sofa. Not good as we have a dog on a special diet luckily I found the biscuits before he did.
