    A standard lamp in lounge would be best instead of having to use spot lights. Perhaps a little more cutlery. Overall a good place to stay.

  • Jane

    We had a wonderful 3 night stay. We also met the owners and they were very accommodating and could not do enough for us. The house was very well equipped and we would certainly consider staying here again.

    In reality it’s even better than the photos. Very high specification - lovely furniture & comfortable beds. We were really happy with everything & Geoff & Sherry were such lovely owners.We would love to stay again as it’s very well located to visit so many places which we would like to do next time. It’s very hard to find fault with anything - maybe the bath towel could have been a little bigger & slightly more absorbent but that’s the only thing. We left our IPad plug & lead behind & this was sent to us the very next day by first class post. You can’t get a better service than this.We were extremely grateful. How kind of them to do that. It’s worth noting that there is now a beautiful baby highchair & travel cot in the property which has recently been added. Highly recommended & thank you again.
