Had a fantastic stay at this this property and couldn't find fault with anything, Emily the host was also very helpful. This really is an idyllic place to stay very peaceful away from the hustle and bustle but also only a 10-15 minute drive from major supermarkets etc and ideally placed to explore the area. I would highly recommend this property and would hope to return sometime in the future.
