    Fantastic little place. Well equipped & very comfortable Especially the bed , and it's a nice touch to have a coffee machine ( some pods provided also )It's on a working farm in the country side away from the busy areas, but this is exactly what we wanted. The bath outside was a lovely idea to enjoy the views .We enjoyed the local circular walk about 3 miles where we managed to see the deer playing in the field.
