Many thanks to Steve and Carol for the very kind bottle of wine on arrival and for helping us out when we couldn't get the wi-fi to work! My friends and I absolutely loved getting visits from the resident farm cat, and the hot tub was always a joy at the end of a busy evening. One thing for potential visitors to note - the stairs down to the bedrooms are very narrow and the handrails a little wobbly, so do be careful if anyone in your party has mobility difficulties. I found them a touch difficult to navigate with my cane, but there are outdoor stairs (and a sloped driveway) to the lower floor which are shallower and broader. We had a wonderful time, and would heartily recommend this place!
