Very clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Again we did some fabulous walks for the house or just a short drive. Masons Arms is a great pub with great food and cracking atmosphere also the Bollywood Cottage is a great Indian. Our weeks stay flew by but not to fear weâll be back next and would recommend to anyone.
