An enjoyable 4 night stay here ,the views from the property are wonderful as it being on a farm . Inside its nice and spacious only downside is its a solid fuel heating system so continuously having to keep the fire going to keep the radiators on as we where there during a cold snap and I think over half of the radiators couldn't be turned on and tge others needed to be bled.Outside half the jets in the hot tub didn't work but all in all we didn't let this spoil or stay and I think I would return again for tge piece and quiet .
