The owners were very friendly and helpful including providing logs for the wood burning stove. It was not particularly cold when we where there in November but the wood burner made it cosy. I am not sure how cosy it would have been the week after, with heavy snow. The main room only has two small radiators and a high ceiling. The wood burner is also quite small. An added bonus is parking by the main house in a quiet lane.

Canât recommend enough. You can tell there has been a lot of thought put in. Normally at holiday stays there is at least one thing you can say could have been better or that is missing. Truly, this holiday stay had everything. Canât fault in any way. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
