Good WiFi, comfortable bed. Pretty garden which our dogs loved and great outdoor dining and barbecue area. The log burner was great with plenty of fuel. Being November we made good use of it.

The kitchen had a great supply of utensils and the outdoor eating area with pizza oven looked lovely for use in the summertime. John, our host was very friendly and was on hand if we needed anything. Welcome pack was much appreciated, thank you. The gardens were delightful and secure for our dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our visits to the surrounding areas. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.
