Great property, kitchen full with everything you might need for your stay and warm and comfy bed linen. Good views, peaceful surroundings. Very nice and helpful host. Weather turned a bit chilly and the heating was put on for us. Did not intrude unless we asked him any questions. Many thanks for the chocs and the flowers in the kitchen was a nice touch. Needs a little tlc in places but very happy to go back another time.

The farmer Ian was a lovely host , but the property does need a lot of modernising and repair to make it a perfect holiday . Electrics need to be done . Also not everything matched up to the description on the website as I think it's a bit out of date. Overall we had a good holiday but property needs to be sorted.
