Had a fantastic stay for a week from 27th December. The house was lovely, big enough for us 7 adults and 3 children. Hot tube was fantastic and very private with superb views of the countryside.There’s dairy farm located towards the village where we brought fresh milk and eggs. Hosts looked after us ensuring the hot tube was cleaned and restocked the wood for the outside fire.Would recommend a stay out in the sticks 💗
