We had a lovely stay at The Shank, all the things we could need were provided, including a travel cot and all other needs. The setting is really peaceful and quiet, and the hot tub is very private and was enjoyed in the evening watching the wildlife. We would recommend to anybody and look forward to returning to stay at another time
