We named it The Dolls House, but don't be put off by that. It was cosy, warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The main door definitely had a knack to it and after a week I still hadn't mastered it, but hubby managed fine.

It was quite a chilly windy time when we stayed and The Annexe was lovely and warm with the fire in the evenings. The main bed was large and really really comfy with good quality bedding. Kitchen was cosy and was well equipped too. We had to contact the owners regarding the sofa bed as we couldnât work it out and they responded very quickly - the issue was itâs designed so it doesnât lie flat, so we had opened it correctly it just did not look right. Son didnât find it very comfy as a front sleeper, and used the camping mat we had brought instead. It was however a very comfy sofa. The water pressure in the shower was a little on the low side but the water temp was fine. Bathroom just lacked a couple of hooks to hang towels/dressing gowns on. Owners friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable bed and we appreciated the food and drink that was left for us.Just a slight issue was a bedroom window that would not close and we ran out of toilet paper and had to buy some as we were left very little. Overall though very good place to stay.
