We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location, comfortable and well equipped, (apart from a spud basher, new tea towels would have been nice, and a space to put food away in the kitchen cupboards). We would definitely recommend it and we would return if we wanted a similar holiday.For us, the down side was the narrow lane in front of the house to unload/load, and not knowing if we could use the back gate to unload/load that way. Maybe that should be pointed out to future occupants.
