Adrienne
The house was warm and welcoming and we were greeted with the smell of fresh bread that the host had cooked and left in the bread maker for us. The rooms were spotless and the two main bedrooms were big with en suite bathrooms. The family bathroom was also big with a bath and shower and again extremely clean. The rooms downstairs were spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped. There was a lovely garden area that led to a summer house with the hot tub in. Karen the host was really friendly and popped in to check that we had everything we needed. I would definitely return as the house is probably one of the best that I have stayed in
