Perfect for relaxation and getting away from it all for a few days. We would definitely choose to stay here again. Main road outside property was a bit noisy at times with large lorries passing regularly.

Loved the log burner especially. Only thing we could 'complain ' about is not being able to change heating settings so was quite cold at night but even that I wouldn't mark down the property,we loved it.
