A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall.

  • Emily

    1. There is site wide WiFi which reaches the house. 2. The washing machine is not in the house, there is a laundry room with 1 machine costing £2.50 which only does a 39min synthetic wash. 3. The master bedroom has a frosted glass door with no curtain/blind so the room is never dark due to the car park lights outside.

    Generally we found the property to be clean and comfortable.

    Having stayed in this property before we appreciated the updates to the bathrooms and the redecoration that has been completed so far. We had a very comfortable stay and appreciated contact with regard to the problem with the oven hob which we were able to use for our needs so it didn’t affect our stay at all. We will definitely look to return to this property in the future as the facilities and location are perfect for us.
